Verdict

One of the more serious bacanoras on the US market. Bacatt's bacanora at 47% sits in the proof range where the category's seriousness lives – Batuq, Aguamiel, and Bacatt are the Sonoran producers working above the 40% commercial-friendly floor. Agave yaquiana carries the Sonoran pine-mineral signature cleanly at this proof. Track it down for the category's sake.

Bacanora at 47% is the category at its legible best
