Verdict

Puntas with citrus is a format almost nobody attempts, this is why they should. Ignacio Juarez treats 60.4% with the respect it demands; the lime doesn't mask, it amplifies. Sits with NETA's puntas releases for format ambition.

Tasting notes

Nose: Lime peel, wet stone, cooked agave, green pepper, hot alcohol

Palate: Puntas at 60.4% with a lime abocado; Ignacio Juarez gets the lime to integrate rather than sit on top. The karwinskii-espadín frame has room to stretch at this proof, and the citrus lift is structural rather than cosmetic

Finish: Electric, warming, very long

The bottom line

Worth the chase. Puntas done seriously
