This Machetazo selection contains three miniatures at their stated strengths: two are bottled at 45% volume and one at 38% volume. The labels connect the set to Oaxaca, Guerrero and San Luis Potosí, giving each miniature a distinct regional reference. THE THREE EXPRESSIONS: Variety and region are stated on each label. The producer describes masonry-oven steam cooking for the 38% selection from San Luis Potosí, while the remaining miniatures are presented through their own stated variety, strength and origin. SUGGESTIONS: Pour small, equal measures into separate copitas at room temperature. Compare all three side by side in any order, with water between samples, so every miniature and regional identity can be considered on equal terms.
