Sabelotodo Tripon

Tripón – the wild agave most people haven't met

Score: 4.0/5 agaves

Sabelotodo Tripon bottle
  • Producer: Sabelotodo
  • Maestro: Felix Cruz Angeles
  • Region: Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca
  • Agave: Tripon
  • ABV: 47%
  • Price: $70 ($)

Verdict

Tripón is the kind of regional wild agave that distinguishes a catalog from a brand. Félix Cruz bottling it solo at full proof is the Sabelotodo thesis in one pour – the obscure agave isn't treated as novelty, it's treated as subject. Sits next to Cuentacuentos and 5 Sentidos lot releases. No consensus yet; our read 4.0.

Tripón solo is a question most producers don't bother asking

Tasting notes

Nose: Green papaya, then crushed mint, wet stone, faint anise

Palate: Tripón's oddly tropical-herbal profile hits hard at 47–52%; this is an agave that could easily be wallpapered into an ensamble, and here it gets to be itself

Finish: Cool, green

The bottom line

Grab it for any serious wild-agave deep-dive
