About this mezcal
Puntagave is produced in the region of Yautepec, Oaxaca where agave Espadin plants are cooked in a traditional earth pit for three days. Each batch is crushed by a tahona and naturally fermented with a proprietary yeast. Fermentation takes place in wooden open-tanks for 15 days. This mezcal is bottled in a handmade ceramic decanter and the corks are made with the aged and cured corks used in their barrels. Unlike glass bottles, the ceramic decanter allows the distilled spirit to evolve over time. The ceramic homogenizes volatile particles and disperses into a fluid state smoothing and settling the tasting profile furthermore. Puntagave has layers of dried sweet fruits, hazelnuts, and cedar.

Earthen pit, tahona, copper
Like most, I’ll keep drinking this one. Has a nice smoky authenticity to it but getting a little too close to the taste of a pickle. Tad sour?
