Verdict
A technical and aromatic achievement. Tobalá puntas at 74.4% is a composition problem most drinkers haven't encountered, tobalá's aromatic character should collapse at this proof, but Sergio Cruz Martínez's production keeps the floral register intact. The bottle comes through as focused ingredient rather than finished spirit. No consensus; reading at 4. For drinkers calibrated to 70%+ proof who want to hear tobalá at its upper bound.
Tobalá puntas is a specialist's bottle
