Verdict
Puntas at 67.8% is not a spirit for beginners, and Juarez knows it. The orange reads more decorative than the lime on his other puntas; at this proof everything is structural by necessity. Hunt it if you like puntas; start with the lime version if this is your first.

Tasting notes
Nose: Orange peel, cooked agave, wet stone, high alcohol lift
Palate: 67.8% is an extreme proof even by puntas standards; the orange abocado integrates cleanly, the bicuishe-espadín frame has nowhere to hide. Dense, savory, vivid
Finish: Citric, warming. Very long
The bottom line
Hunt it for puntas specialists
