Verdict

Puntas bottlings are the first cuts of the distillation – hot, concentrated, not everyone's bottle. Manuel Aquino García's coyote puntas is a benchmark version: the karwinskii's mineral spine survives and intensifies at 60.1%. No consensus data yet. Our read places this alongside the NETA catalog's top 10% – a specialist bottle that rewards slow pours. Drink in thimble measures.

60.1% puntas is a producer trusting you to drink it slowly

Tasting notes

Nose: Hot citrus peel, warm herb, flint, white pepper

Palate: Puntas (the heads of the distillation) of coyote at 60.1% – concentrated karwinskii sharpness, mineral fire, a proof that respects the cut

Finish: Hot, limestone. Very long

The bottom line

Buy for the high-proof karwinskii canon
