Verdict
Puntiagudo operates as a bottler curating individual maestro-led lots, and the arroqueño-tepextate from Onofre Ortiz is the catalog's gravity bottle. The arroqueño's sweet weight and the tepextate's green mineral structure should fight each other; Ortiz lets them cooperate instead. Track it alongside Real Minero's arroqueño work.
Arroqueño and tepextate together is a gravity experiment that Ortiz wins
Tasting notes
Nose: Roasted arroqueño sweetness with wet granite
Palate: Massive but controlled. Arroqueño brings the weight, tepextate brings the green-mineral spine. 48.4% proof is calibrated to let both magueys speak without either dominating. Onofre Ortiz's hand is everywhere and nowhere
Finish: Layered, cooling – very long
The bottom line
An automatic buy. Onofre Ortiz is the name on the bottle for a reason
