This might be one of the most honest agave spirits in Mexico — and it’s not tequila. In this episode of Tasting Tequila with Brad, I take a deep dive into Caballito Cerrero Chato Puntas, an ancestral agave spirit made in Amatitán, Jalisco that intentionally does not follow modern tequila regulations. We cover: • The Caballito Cerrero distillery story • Why Chato agave disqualifies this spirit as tequila • What “Puntas only” really means — and why it matters • Full tasting notes: nose, palate, mouthfeel, and finish • Who this bottle is for — and who it isn’t This is a high-proof, terroir-driven agave spirit for serious agave fans who want to understand what existed before tequila had rules.
