The next unique and rare Maguey Siete Misterios distill is the Coyote. Coyote and Arroqueño Magueys are close relatives and are often confused as the same Maguey. They are almost identical with minor differences only a dedicated connoisseur can appreciate. However, they have completely different taste profiles. The Coyote has more herbal notes and has become one of the most iconic Mezcals Siete Misterios produce. Given the scarcity of this agave in the Sola de Vega area, Siete Misterios Coyote mezcal is quite rare and elusive. If you see it, try it.
