La Reina Puntas is the top-cut from the head of the still, wild 100% Agave Maximiliana raicilla bottled at 55% for full aromatic intensity. This is the maestro raicillero's cut, the concentrated heart of the run.

Mood: fierce, undiluted, virtuoso.

Sommelier
Puntas is the maestro's own cut, taken before the water goes in. Neat, in a tiny glass, and only for someone who wants raicilla at full volume.

Tasting Notes

Explosive cooked-agave nose with pine, mint, and green pepper. The palate is intense, sweet baked agave, alpine herbs, warm brine, and a mineral stone-fruit undercurrent. The finish is long and thundering, warm spirit carrying agave complexity for minutes.

Food Pairing

A tiny copita, neat, alongside grilled meats or as an after-dinner shot for the serious agave lover. Also a heroic base for a small strong Margarita where the puntas can hold their own.
