Sin Gusano Jabali (Puntas)
Jabalí puntas at 65%, drink it like a musician tunes up
Score: 4.5/5 agaves

- Agave: Jabali
- ABV: 65%
- Price: $70 ($$)
Verdict
Florian Vásquez bottled the puntas cut straight, which means this bottle exists for people who already know what jabalí should taste like and want to see what the distillate looks like with all the dials turned up. The consensus doesn't have a number for this; our read is 4.5 because the clarity rewards patience. Not a daily pour. A reference.
Puntas as a concentrate – respect it and it teaches
Tasting notes
Nose: Wild herb concentrate – then white pepper, mineral alcohol, a savory depth
Palate: 65% is not a casual drink, the puntas cut takes jabalí's characteristic pepper and wild-herb structure and concentrates it into a brothy, flinty essence the body barely dilutes
Finish: Intense, warming hours after
The bottom line
A puntas bottle for committed drinkers. Not a starter
