5 Sentidos Puntas - The Untamed Spirit of Oaxaca's Agave Wilds
An authentic taste of Oaxaca's rugged tierra caliente, 5 Sentidos Puntas captures the wild, untamed essence of the region's noble Espadin agave. This small-batch agave spirit is the work of master mezcaleros Eleuterio and Eduardo Perez, upholding generations of artisanal traditions.
Deep in the remote El Nanche mountains, each Espadin piña is harvested at peak maturity, then slow-roasted over blazing oak embers in conical earthen pits. This ancient, inefficient process concentrates the agave's rich flavors and rustic smokiness.
After an Old-World tahona stone crush, the roasted agave fibers undergo a long, natural fermentation before ascending the meticulously hand-beaten copper stills. The clear, robust distillate is an agave spirit in its purest, primal form.
Unadulterated by any additives, 5 Sentidos Puntas delivers powerful yet nuanced notes of charred mesquite, fresh herbs, wild tropical fruits, and distinct agave earthiness. Sip it neat to fully experience the assertive, boundary-pushing character that could only come from Oaxaca's semi-arid, high-altitude terrain.
More than a spirit, Puntas is a bridge connecting the modern world to the ancient soul of Mexico's most revered agave-producing regions. Taste the untamed majesty of this rare, small-batch gem.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
