La Venenosa Raicilla Puntas (60%)

A rare and powerful Mexican raicilla from Mascota, Jalisco, made by Esteban Morales with Agave maximiliana. The 'puntas' fraction is drawn at the highest alcohol strength directly from the still, giving a spirit of more than 60% ABV. Despite its strength, it remains elegant, subtle and exceptionally complex. Dried green apple, acetone, jalapeño cream cheese, spicy warmth, subtle berries and floral hints on the nose. The palate brings intense green apple, melon, grape, blackberry, cranberry and strawberry, jalapeño cream cheese character, citrus acidity, light minerality and hot spicy anise and liquorice notes. The finish is dry with bitter vegetal notes and a funky, sometimes creamy character, with a light, ethereal texture.
