Puntas are the first, strongest part of the heart of the distillation, here kept apart and bottled on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaicilla is the traditional agave spirit of western Jalisco, made in small batches in remote mountain villages. La Venenosa works with individual raicilleros and identifies each bottle by its maker and place; this Puntas comes from Jacales, Jalisco, and is now made by Esteban Morales in Mascota. Because each batch is small, the strength varies slightly from bottle to bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite its strength, it is elegant, subtle and complex. Expect cooked agave, lavender and ripe pear on the nose, with a crisp, clean palate of floral notes, sweet mint, tropical fruit, citrus peel and fresh herbs, leading to a spicy, long finish with a sweet, lightly citrus aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tall bottle with its purple label and spiral emblem is a prized find for agave enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly from a copita, a little at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cooked agave, lavender and ripe pear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crisp and clean, with floral notes, sweet mint and citrus peel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spicy and long, with a light citrus sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Venenosa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raicilla, Puntas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Puntas, Maximiliana agave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 124.8 proof (62.4% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra Occidental, Jalisco, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly from a copita at room temperature.
