Verdict
Espadín usually gets dismissed as the workhorse, and then Don Goyo bottles one at 48% and the conversation shifts. Revelador's espadín is honest, structured, and legible, exactly what a capable maestro does when not sanding the liquid for commercial appeal. Pour it next to Banhez Espadín or Fidencio Clásico; Revelador clears both.
Espadín bottled by a legendary maestro is still espadín – and it's still worth it
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked agave with a green herb, warm hay, a thread of citrus
Palate: Clean and textured at 48%, Gregorio Martínez's espadín showing the structural care people usually reserve for wild agaves. No shortcuts, no sweetening
Finish: Mineral, clean, long
The bottom line
Worth owning, proof that espadín can carry a premium tier
