Verdict

Most producers at 57% lose the agave voice to the proof; Chacolo keeps it. Cimarrón at puntas strength amplifies the Jalisco wild-agave character instead of burning past it, the project's specialist releases are where the producer's discipline shows loudest. Jalisco puntas is a specialist category, and this is one of the reference bottlings. For high-proof specialists only.
