The Story
Most blanco tequila is proofed down to 40% before bottling; the Los Rurales High Proof keeps the spirit at 50%, closer to how it leaves the still, so the highland agave’s citrus, minerals and white pepper arrive undiluted. It is part of Puntagave’s Los Rurales series of regional Mexican spirits, bottled alongside the house Rustico tequila and a traditional mezcal range. For blanco purists, this is the line’s boldest pour.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Intense cooked agave, lime zest, white pepper and wet stone. Palate: Big and oily — sweet agave up front, then citrus, herbs and a firm peppery heat from the 100-proof bottling. Finish: Long, warm and dry, with agave and spice echoing.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat if you like your blanco loud, or give it a few drops of water to open the citrus and herbs. In cocktails it punches through lime and salt — a ranch water or Margarita built on this will not taste watered down.
