Like most producers in this region, they use a Refrescadera still, which is a modified copper pot still where slow distillation and temperature control allows a finished spirit to emerge after a single distillation instead of the usual 2. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is a 100% Tepezatate (Agave Marmorata) with 12-15 year old agaves that were wild grown or \"silvestre\". The agaves came from the Valles Centrales region of Oaxaca. They were cooked in a conical earthen oven with Guamuchil and Mesquite wood. The cooked agaves were crushed with machetes and a stone tahona. The mash was ferment with water from a local stream and ambient yeasts in 1200 Liter sabino wood vats. It was distilled just once on a 300 liter copper refrescadera and proofed with \"puntas y colas\", the heads and tails of the distillation. It was an 85 Liter batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA classic Tepe with the indescribable fruit notes that one expects from that agave. Like all of Luis' distillates, it does not drink like a spirit as strong as 50% ABV. Lovely mouthfeel, soft smoke, and an earthy and drying finish. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Puntiagudo","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":68411879751984,"sku":"A13","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/0647\/6336\/files\/Photo-Coming_70537b44-b554-42d3-944d-9e39b44336bd.png?v=1746661580","url":"https:\/\/prizefighterbottleshop.com\/products\/puntiagudo-tepeztate-luis-juarez","provider":"Prizefighter Bottle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
