The Puntas of Mezcal, considered a symbol of good luck in the palenques, represent the culmination of an arduous journey that begins with the planting of the maguey and ends with distillation. These first drops, obtained at the start of the distillation process, are the most concentrated in alcohol and aromatic compounds, giving them unmatched richness and complexity.
With this elixir, the master palenquero, Rafael Garcia, offers you not only a reflection of the ancestral culture of Santa María Solá de Vega, but also a tribute to the artisanal mastery that has been refined over generations. As you enjoy this distillate, you are experiencing the purest and finest mezcal, an essence that carries the history, culture, and effort of those who dedicate their lives to this ancestral art.
To create this extraordinary blend, Rafa combined 25 liters of Barril distillate with 25 liters of Tobalá distillate. The mixture underwent a third distillation in a clay pot, an unusual process that marked the first great work of master Rafa. This experiment was born with the intention of honoring the Puntas. After 14 hours of slow distillation, Rafa decided to stop the process at the perfect moment, as he perceived that the aromas and flavors had reached their peak, avoiding the introduction of unwanted smoky notes through evaporation. The result was 18 liters with an alcoholic purity of 74°, achieving a level of alcohol and an intensity of flavors and aromas that elevate this distillate to an incomparable level.
