Verdict
What sounds at 45% like dry hay and green pepper sounds at 52% like hot slate and cooling herb – same aromatics, fundamentally different emphasis. Community consensus aligns. A serious pour.
52% tobaziche is a producer's declaration
Tasting notes
Nose: Green pepper – then dry hay, warm earth, cooling herb
Palate: Concentrated at 52%. Tobaziche at this proof stops reading as vegetal and starts reading as mineral; the shift is the whole argument for high-proof bottlings of the agave
Finish: Unending. Cooling, drying, warm at the very end
