Verdict
Rayo Seco specializes in rare regional magueys and verde is another entry in that mission. At 51% proof the plant has room to show its character. Track it as part of a Rayo Seco flight, the catalog is more coherent than any single bottle. Buy it for the flight, not for the solo.
Verde is the kind of classification Rayo Seco builds a catalog around
Tasting notes
Nose: Green herb, wet stone, cooked agave, a mineral wash
Palate: Structured, green, distinctively wild. Verde agave (likely a karwinskii variant or a regional classification) at 51% reads as committed. Rayo Seco's house style of full-proof, restrained handling serves it
Finish: Green, clean, long
The bottom line
Worth owning as part of a Rayo Seco flight
