Rancho Tepua Palmilla
Palmilla – another Sonoran rarity, Rancho Tepua handling
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Rancho Tepúa
- Region: Aconchi, Sonora
- ABV: 47.9%
- Price: $100 ($$$)
Verdict
Palmilla is a Sonoran wild agave rarely seen on US shelves as a single-maguey bottling. Rancho Tepua's version is a region-education bottle – drink it for the mapping, not for drama. Category-wise, we'd rank it alongside the lechuguilla as supporting material to the Rancho Tepua bacanora flagship. Fair buy for specialists.
Rancho Tepua is the rare brand that treats Sonoran variety as the subject
Tasting notes
Nose: Dry herb, then green stem, a mineral undertone
Palate: Similar austerity to the lechuguilla but with slightly more body. 47.9% working proof. Palmilla is another wild Sonoran agave rarely bottled single-maguey. The brand's regional commitment is the story
Finish: Dry, clean – medium
The bottom line
Buy it for the region. Bacanora is still the flagship
