This is a bottling of Racilla. It was made rom Maximiliana agave in the state of Jalisco, Sierra Occidental, in the town of Jacales. It was cooked in an adobe oven fueled by black oak and fermented in oak vats by Wild Yeast. It went through 2 distillations.
“Puntas consist of the upper portions of the “hearts” and the portion of the distillate separated right above them. Considered the choicest cut by most mezcaleros because of their intense flavour. This is a rare treat for those of us who aren’t good friends with their favorite mezcalero.” Let’s see how it holds up.
ABV: 61.8%
Nose: Strong, pungent. Ripe red strawberries, fruity pebbles, clay, peppers, agave funk.
Palate: Medium oily mouthfeel. Dry, Strawberries, clay, roasted green peppers, clay, earthiness, slight minerality. Light funk, slight salt.
Finish: Long length, dry. Fruity pebbles, roasted peppers, earthiness, minerality, slight funk.
Rating: 8/10
This thing is an all out assault of red berries all throughout, almost sugary cereal-esque in pure pungentness. This plays well with the more savory flavors of the peppers, clay, and the light agave funk that this bottling has. I can see why this is considered a choice cut due to how intense the flavor is.
