Verdict
Aureliano Hernández's solo espadín is a quiet bottle – 46%, clean, honest, without the extra concentration that Berta Vásquez or Abel Martínez bring to the same agave. A working Rezpiral at a working price. Pick it over Wahaka Joven Espadín without thinking, but pick Berta's espadín over it for the reach.
The Rezpiral espadín that doesn't oversell itself
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked agave up front. Warm hay, fresh herb, faint smoke underneath
Palate: Clean and medium-weight. At 46%, Aureliano Hernández's espadín reading as a well-made community expression from San Baltazar Guélavila. Not the loudest Rezpiral bottle, but structurally tight
Finish: Medium-long, mineral, clean
The bottom line
A solid single-maestro espadín – drink, don't collect
