Verdict
Mexicano/rhodacantha is a workhorse wild agave that commercial brands tend to polish into a generic tobalá facsimile. Félix Cruz's version is sharper and more specific – the proof honors the agave's real character. No consensus score yet; our read lands at 4.0. Credible next to Lalocura's rhodacantha bottlings.
Rhodacantha given proof and time is rhodacantha given respect
Tasting notes
Nose: Green apple. Then wet limestone, white pepper
Palate: 47–52% is where mexicano sings; the agave's fast-cooking sweetness offsets its sharper mineral edge. Clear, upright, saline mid
Finish: Cool, clean. Long
