Yuku Savi Pitzometl
Pichumetl at 49% – one more rare agave in Félix Macedas' quiver
Score: 4.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Yuku Savi Mezcal
- Maestro: Felix Macedas
- Region: San Luis Atolotitlan, Puebla
- Agave: Pichumetl
- ABV: 49%
- Price: $70 ($)
Verdict
Pichumetl is among the less-documented wild agaves to reach the American shelf, and Félix Macedas treats it with the same restraint as his more-celebrated expressions. Consensus 4.1 lands right – this is a study bottle in a rare category, not the showpiece of the line. Still worth tracking for anyone mapping the wild agaves beyond the usual suspects.

Tasting notes
Nose: Green agave, cooked corn, wet stone, a peppery herbal lift
Palate: Structured and savory. At 49%, pichumetl's vegetal-mineral character showing up cleanly without the producer reaching for extra flourish. Lean weight, long middle
Finish: Drying, flinty
The bottom line
Worth tracking. The Yuku Savi range rewards the full collection
