Verdict
68.88% is where most producers lose the agave entirely to the proof; Chacolo keeps brocha's pine-herb register readable in the glass. Jalisco puntas at this articulation, the heirloom project pushed to still-strength – is a specialist's category. For high-proof drinkers already calibrated; not a bottle you take home for dinner.
Jalisco puntas is specialist territory
Tasting notes
Nose: Concentrated cooked agave, hot earth, pine and a faint floral high note
Palate: Electric at 68.88% – the proof carries brocha's character into focused-ingredient territory. Jalisco puntas is specialist territory; at this concentration the agave's regional profile becomes almost analytical in its precision, and the drinker has to meet the bottle on its own terms of intensity
Finish: With a slow mineral fade. Endless
The bottom line
For specialists
