Verdict
Where Aquilino's ensamble pulls from Candelaria Yegole, Emigdio Jarquín's five-agave blend is the Miahuatlán counterpart – tighter, more mineral, less sweet. At 50% it runs exactly where Jarquín's single-agave bottles live, which means it drinks as a coherent continuation of the bench rather than an outlier. Track it alongside the Jarquín cuishe and madrecuishe.
The Jarquín ensamble is the Miahuatlán bench in a single bottle
Tasting notes
Nose: Green pepper with cooked agave, wet stone
Palate: Structured and mineral at 50%, with the karwinskii components (cuishe, madrecuishe) doing the dry heavy lifting and the tepextate-tobalá pair contributing aromatic top-lift
Finish: Drying, floral. Very long
The bottom line
Track it. Miahuatlán ensamble with the bench's full voice
