About this destilado de agave
5 Sentidos Coyote from Eduardo Cortez Perez was initially released as a California-only batch of maguey Coyote. This specific Coyote is thought to be a cross between Agave karwinskii and Agave Potatorum, which some other producers would refer to as a maguey Coyota. Eduardo is the son of “Tio Tello,” who is also bottled by Cinco Sentidos.

661 reviewsThere are big sweet notes like crisp green apples, old fashioned donuts, and Cool Whip. Not much of a finish for me. Second time sipping this. IIRC someone compared it to brandy the first time we tried it. I think Tobala fans will enjoy this quite a bit but I’m not very drawn to it. October 2020 batch from bottle #33/54.

Palate – Soft, coating mouth feel that dissipates quickly. Apple cobbler and ice cream. Cigar box. Extremely tame for near 47% ABV. Finish is nice and long – saddle leather and Skoal long cut classic- the cowboy way. 🙂
Another killer 5 sentidos jam!

424 reviewsThis one has a crazy light mouthfeel! It’s like it disappears as soon as it hits your mouth but leaves behind all the flavor. Someone in the tasting compared this effect to eating cotton candy and I think that nails it. Anyways the flavor is delicious!! Baked apple pie, allspice, clove, and pineapple jam. Unique and delicious.
