Rezpiral Coyote – Aureliano Hernandez Martinez
Aureliano Hernández's coyote at 46%, a different hand on the same agave
Score: 4.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Rezpiral
- Maestro: Aureliano Hernandez
- Region: San Baltazar Guélavila, Oaxaca
- Agave: Coyote
- ABV: 46%
- Price: $70 ($$)
Verdict
Rezpiral's thesis is that the maestro is the variable, and this coyote vs. Leonardo Hernández's coyote is the direct proof. Aureliano's hand runs earthier, drier, more mineral; Leonardo's runs cleaner and more vegetal. Both are 46%; both are honest; both earn their shelf space. Buy them as a pair if you can.
Same agave, same town, different palenque – different bottle
Tasting notes
Nose: Wet earth, green pepper, wildflower, cooked agave
Palate: Medium-weight at 46%, Aureliano Hernández's version reading earthier and slightly drier than Leonardo's take. San Baltazar Guélavila again, same town, different hand
Finish: Mineral, dry. Stays long
The bottom line
A buy with Leonardo's coyote – the maestro comparison is the study
