Puntagave Tequila Blanco

Process & Profile

Puntagave Tequila Blanco is a pure, additive-free craft spirit born in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, specifically the town of Capilla de Guadalupe. Crafted by Maestro Tequilero Guillermo Barroso Arnaud at Compania Tequilera Hacienda La Capilla, this tequila is made from 100% Agave Tequilana Weber, grown in the rich volcanic soil of the region. The agave is baked in an autoclave to enhance its natural sugars, followed by extraction using a roller mill to release the juices. It’s then double distilled in traditional copper stills, a method that preserves its authentic flavor without additives. Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV), this crystal-clear tequila reflects a meticulous process, offering a smooth and vibrant taste that honors Mexican tequila-making heritage.
