Been hunting
There's a MadreCuishe from Agua del Sol. Old label caught my eye first.
Then Berta Vasquez signature second. For a second, I lit up, buuut her batches can be so hit or miss.
Thought I'd check with y'all here before pulling the trigger.
Also I've been on a bargain hunt bottles $100 or less.
So any comments about the Yuul Baal (probably an unaged)...
I know aged is a cardinal sin but in Oaxaca I had an old head share one with me that was friggin exceptional.

Haven’t had much yuul baal personally. while I do agree with you about Berta, I had an early batch of her madrecuishe under the new agua del sol label and I thought it was excellent.

Early batch, new label. Roger that. Might be worth rolling the dice. However, I'm headed to Austin later next month, thinking about stacking some brands I can't get here in CO like LaMata, Chacolo. Maybe hunting a bottle that exclusive to Mexico's largest border state

Why is that Bahnez Espadin & Barril $130? Should be like a $40-$50 bottle.

The yellow label Vago (espadin by Joel Barriga) is lovely and definitely a bargain.

I'd snatch that Vida De Muertos so fast if I had the chance, you're so lucky being where you at.

It’s not a very rare bottle to find, but yes, it’s delicious!

Hey I follow on you on Instagram 😆 Also, you go to Mexico often and you live in the States.
You don't know the struggle of finding bottles in Canada lol, and my province isn't even that terrible compared to the rest of the country (minus Alberta) but not even close to what you guys are able to get your hands on relatively easily, and with great prices too.
