Aguerrido Mezcal
Puntiagudo Sierra Negra – Rubén López
Puntiagudo Sierra Negra, Rubén López is a joven Destilado de Agave from Santa Catarina Albarradas, Oaxaca. Rubén López produces this Americana spirit in clay pots at 48.2 percent ABV from lot RL-SRN-06. The nose offers clay funk, graphite, and red fruits alongside candied mango and papaya. Palate notes include roasted agave, sweet potatoes, toasted pepitas, and pepper with a clean minerality. Clay distillation imparts chalky and earthy tones without dominating the profile. The finish lingers with peppercorn, cedar, and a slight tartness. This expression balances bright fruit with savory depth while maintaining structural clarity throughout the sip.
