So we come to the conclusion of the Cojuno 2012 mini series. This is wrapped in Mexican San Andreas, or in Tatuaje terms: Tuxtla.
It sports a strong green band. Like crayon green.
1/3: This starts with the most enjoyable first puff of any of the 2012 cojonus. Smokey chocolate with a dusting of salted cayenne pepper- but not in a heat spicy way as often is the case. It is more of a tingle in your mouth kinda spice. Its more flavor then it is heat, if that makes sense.
2/3: The heat spice of the cayenne pepper is maturing and the smokey chocolate has turned into a bready note. Some honey joins in and it is like I have toasted bread generously covered with honey and a dusting of cayenne pepper on top of it.
3/3: The final third has smoothed out the transitions of the middle third and developed the final flavors. I get a nice cayenne pepper spice, some cinnamon sugar and a nice fresh baked bread note.
Final thoughts: I think back to the La Riqueza SE 2024 Tuxtla and my statements made on that review could be echoed here. It was may favorite 2012 cojonu, hands down. Probably followed by the Corojo and then (surprisingly to me) the Capa Especial. The Reserva is last.
