Tequila Ocho Plata Mesa Colorada Puntas Distiller's Cut 2023
Tequila Blanco
Tequila Ocho // Jalisco, Mexico
Puntas refers to a thin cut in the distillation process taken from the end of the heads and the beginning of the heart. Traditionally, this cut is set aside for the distiller to enjoy with their friends and family. For this 2023 release, two high proof cuts were blended and then proofed to 106 proof. Like all other Tequila Ocho bottlings, this tequila was made from a single estate.
Here, the agaves were harvested from Rancho Mesa Colorada, located 28 kilometers from the brand's new home at Tequilera Los Alambiques. This additive-free tequila is available beginning October 2023 with the US getting 1,100 cases. (SRP $74.99).

Tasting Notes
"Intense aromas of fresh green agave, wet stones, and earthy clay greet you on the nose along with a few bright tropical fruits (mango, pineapple). The body is medium full and just a bit prickly on the tongue. The alcohol heat is present, but not overwhelming. There's a light sweetness here which balances out the heat. Gentle cinnamon and more herbal flavors come along for the finish which is moderately lengthy. Enjoyable sipper."
