Chamucos

[habañejo]

Chamucos was brought up on the other forum. Mr.Agave you asked which NOM I liked on the GC Azul thread. Which do you prefer and any tasting notes? I still have plenty of the 1433 but I wonder if I'm missing something in new stuff?

[MrAgave]

I like them both, the new stuff is good, but tastes similar to Muchote, and is more expensive. I don't think I have any tasting notes on the old stuff.

Well, I certainly like Muchote but I didn't put them (the 1433) in the same boat at all.
I guess I'll keep looking for old bottles! Thanks.

[MrAgave]

I meant the new Chamucos (1414) and Muchote are similar, same distillery...

Old Chamucos is quite different from the new IMHO.

Yes, Thank you I got that. Just saying I'll stick to the 1433 if that's the case. The 1433 has everything most repos don't...balance. I especially appreciate it after having a bunch of other higher end repos. The Chamucos really shines!
