Caballito Cerrero Chato Puntas: The Untamed Peak
In the world of agave spirits, the "Puntas" represent the absolute pinnacle of flavor and intensity. This rare expression from the historic Santa Rita Fábrica is the "cut" taken from the very beginning of the distillation run, where the most volatile and aromatic compounds reside. Bottled as a Destilado de Agave, this spirit captures the wild, uncompromised heart of the Agave angustifolia (Maguey Chato) at a formidable high proof.
Produced in Amatitán by the sixteenth-generation Jiménez family, this is an additive-free masterpiece that refuses to be tamed by industrial standards or modern labeling requirements.
The Craft
The Agave: 100% estate-grown Maguey Chato (Agave angustifolia), harvested only at peak "Sazón" maturity to ensure the most complex sugar profile possible.
- The Water: Fermented and distilled using the natural mineral spring water from the distillery’s own ravine.
- The Cut: Unlike standard bottlings, the Puntas cut is limited to a small fraction of the distillation, capturing an extraordinary concentration of essential oils and agave essence.
Tasting Notes
- ABV: Typically 60% – 65% (High Proof / Still Strength)
- Aroma: An explosive and complex bouquet. It opens with intense notes of roasted agave, tropical fruit (green mango and pineapple), and a distinct mineral strike. Beneath the fruit lies a rustic, savory edge reminiscent of black pepper, damp earth, and woodsmoke.
- Palate: Powerful and coating. Despite the high alcohol content, the mouthfeel is remarkably silky and oily. Flavors of sweet cooked agave and bright citrus are balanced by an herbaceous "green" quality and a salty, briny undertone characteristic of the Amatitán terroir.
- Finish: A monumental finish that lingers for minutes. It leaves a resonant warmth on the palate with echoes of peppermint, anise, and a deep, earthy sweetness.
The Experience
Caballito Cerrero Chato Puntas is not for the casual drinker. It is a spirit for the explorer, a high-voltage journey into the ancient history of agave distillation. Because it utilizes the angustifolia variety (the same genetic family as Espadín), it offers a fascinating bridge between the bright, mineral world of Tequila and the smoky, complex depths of Mezcal.
How to Enjoy:
This spirit is best experienced neat in a wide-rimmed glass to allow the high-proof vapors to dissipate, or with a single drop of spring water to "open up" the hidden floral and fruit notes.

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.
