Caballito Cerrero Puntas Blanco Tequila, 750ml, 53–55% ABV (Very Limited Edition)

The “Puntas” release from Caballito Cerrero is among the rarest and most powerful expressions of agave spirit available today. Distilled in tiny batches and bottled at natural still strength, between 53% and 55% ABV, this blanco tequila captures the raw essence of the distillation process—pure, intense, and uncompromising. Only a handful of bottles make it out of the family’s historic distillery in Amatitán, Jalisco, each one representing a fleeting snapshot of traditional production at its most authentic.

“Puntas” refers to the first cut of the distillate, the portion that carries extraordinary concentration of flavors and aromas. Unlike commercial producers who discard or dilute this cut, Caballito Cerrero bottles it directly, offering a spirit that is both explosively aromatic and texturally rich. Cooked agave, minerals, spice, and heat combine in a way that is rarely found in the world of tequila, making this bottling a true cult favorite among collectors and agave purists.

As with all Caballito Cerrero releases, production follows time-honored methods: mature agaves are harvested at peak ripeness, slowly cooked in brick ovens, naturally fermented in wooden vats, and distilled in copper pot stills. No additives, no industrial processes—just a transparent and unfiltered expression of the plant and land.

The result is a spirit that defies convention, delivering unmatched intensity and a bold showcase of agave in its purest possible form. Caballito Cerrero Puntas stands as one of the most limited and coveted blanco tequilas ever released, a testament to the family’s commitment to independence and authenticity.

Caballito Cerrero is a historic and fiercely independent agave producer based in Amatitán, Jalisco, with origins going back to 1873. It was founded by Don Alfonso Jiménez Rosales, who also co-founded Herradura, before breaking away to establish a project that would remain free from industrial influence. To this day, Caballito Cerrero refuses to register under the official Tequila Denomination of Origin, bottling instead as “Destilado de Agave.” This decision is both philosophical and practical: it allows the family to preserve old traditions and work with a variety of agave species, not just Blue Weber, ensuring that quality—not regulation—dictates their craft.

The name “Caballito Cerrero,” which translates to “The Untamed Horse,” captures the spirit of the brand—uncontrolled, authentic, and resistant to compromise. Every step of production reflects this ethos: agaves are estate-grown and harvested at full maturity, cooked slowly in brick ovens, naturally fermented in wooden tanks, and distilled in copper stills. The process is deliberately small-scale and meticulous, designed to honor the plant and land without shortcuts or additives.

Because of this uncompromising approach, Caballito Cerrero releases are always scarce, often produced in single-batch quantities that sell out instantly among enthusiasts. From their iconic Azul and Chato bottlings to experimental rarities like the Unicorn and Puntas, each expression is a direct reflection of heritage, integrity, and an unbroken lineage of family craftsmanship.

Collectors and connoisseurs worldwide seek out Caballito Cerrero not just for its exceptional spirits, but for what the brand represents: independence, authenticity, and the preservation of agave distillation at its highest form.
