I was at Zill's a while back...and tasted a sapodilla that had a flavor of both mamey and sapodilla. 

Does anyone know what type this may have been??  It was really nice.

Couldn't you just ask Zill's? ;)
that's a novel idea!
One of the employees was eating the fruit, and didn't know what cultivar it was (the fruit even had some red in the flesh, like mamey) Yes I suppose I could ask Zill, but was wondering if anyone else had tasted a sapodilla that was reminiscent of mamey..and if they knew the cultivar name.

I suppose this fruit I tasted was much more special (rare) than I realized. 

but I saved the seeds!!
A friend of mine here in Vallarta has some of those! Is a Sapodilla but with a kind of red flesh instead of the regular beige/ brown  one, and a some mamey notes, some people believe is a hybrid between these two, hence the popular name here " mamey- sapote" as sapodilla is refer here as " Chico Sapote"

Any update about those red sapodillas  ?.

If someone were to eat the Alano fruits from the tree I am growing in my yard blindfolded, they will say that it is mamey.  A lot of my fruits are close to mamey in flavor and some have been identical.

Zill said they were preparing new varieties for 2019 as mentioned here:
http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=30774.msg341315#msg341315

I just wrote for an updated availability list. Last year's list showed Alano, Hasya, Makok, Molix, Morena, Ox, Tikal, and Gigantia.

Zills just sent me an updated price/availability list and there were no more Sapodilla varieties than listed above.

Here is a pic of the butterscotch which I am assuming is newest variety, honestly not a fan of these fruits, but this shape is unlike anyone I’ve seen, would like to try it someday maybe it would change my mind...last one I had tasted like rye bread soaked in maple syrup 😂
