Rezpiral Coyote - Leonardo Hernandez
Leonardo Hernández's coyote at 46%, small-batch copper-pot discipline
Score: 4.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Rezpiral
- Maestro: Leonardo Hernandez
- Region: San Baltazar Guélavila, Oaxaca
- Agave: Coyote
- ABV: 46%
- Price: $70 ($$)
Verdict
Coyote rarely gets bottled solo because the agave's yield and profile don't fit mass-market SKUs. Leonardo Hernández's version is a quiet, well-built rendering, not flashy, but legible. 46% is the right proof. Pick it over Rey Campero's coyote if you want the single-maestro frame; they're close in caliber.
Single-maestro coyote, real proof
Tasting notes
Nose: Green pepper, cooked agave, wet stone, fresh herb
Palate: Medium-weight and vegetal at 46%, coyote's less-familiar profile reading clean under Leonardo Hernández's hand. Copper pot still, San Baltazar Guélavila
Finish: Long, herbal, mineral
The bottom line
Buy it, single-maestro coyote at a working price
