Sacapalabras Tobasiche - Espadin

Verdict

Pairing espadín with tobaziche is the entry-level karwinskii move, it tames the agave for wider audiences. Lalo Ángeles still bottles at 50%, so the bottle has weight, but it asks less of you than the tobaziche solo does. 3.0 consensus is a shade low; we read it at 3.5. A reasonable starter in the line.

Tasting notes

Nose: Wet stone, cooked agave, gentle herb, citrus top

Palate: 50% still, but the espadín smooths tobaziche's harder edges, the bottle is more drinkable and less specific than the tobaziche solo

Finish: Medium-long, clean, saline-sweet

The bottom line

Start here; graduate to the tobaziche solo
