Puntagave Los Rurales Distilled Pulque 750ml

Puntagave Los Rurales Distilled Pulque – 45% ABV | 750ml

Bold, historic, and unapologetically authentic, Puntagave Los Rurales Distilled Pulque is a rare Mexican spirit crafted from naturally fermented agave sap (aguamiel) rather than cooked agave hearts. Bottled at 45% ABV in a 750ml format, this high-proof expression revives one of Mexico's oldest agave traditions, delivering a distinctive flavor profile shaped entirely by the natural fermentation and double distillation of pulque.

Process & Profile

Produced from mature Agave salmiana (Manso) in Tlaxcala, the fresh aguamiel is harvested by skilled tlachiqueros and naturally fermented for 24–48 hours before being double distilled in a copper column still. Unlike tequila or mezcal, the agave is never cooked, allowing the spirit to retain the raw, vibrant character of fresh agave sap. The process is exceptionally labor-intensive, with approximately 100 liters of pulque yielding only about 10 liters of distillate.

Appearance

Crystal clear and brilliantly bright, with a silky texture and long, expressive legs that reflect its artisanal production.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh herbs, lemongrass, green pepper, cardamom, earthy minerals, and subtle fermented dairy notes.

Palate: Rich and savory with herbal complexity, natural agave sweetness, citrus zest, earthy minerality, and the unmistakable character of traditionally fermented pulque.

Finish: Long, dry, and warming with lingering herbal spice, fresh agave, and a clean mineral finish that highlights the spirit's rustic authenticity.
