Maybe we should start calling May 7, Puntas day….57% and above…..
Picked up this bottle at Louie’s Liquor in Azusa, CA.
Nose: Lemon-lime soda, salted fruit (like a saladito) and sodium bicarbonate
Palate: Explosion of lemon and lime, high abv is definitely present but not overpowering, powdered sugar, golden beets, citric acid, and country time lemonade. The heat and lemon-lime definitely drown out the agave, karwinskiis are just barely present in the background, just the drying quality of the bicuixe. I did enjoy this though as the flavor packs a wallop. Fun ride. In-between a 4.25 and 4.5 for me.

68 reviewsWas at Estereo near me and they introduced me to Gusto Historico via this bottle– didn’t realize it was Puntas until after I looked at the bottle because it was loud in the place lol also this is incredibly smooth for being 60%. Very green, sweet, bright and the burn isn’t overpowering. Loved this in a 2 oz pour and would possibly buy a full bottle in the future if I start adding more puntas to my collection.
