Puntas 2021 set the standard, and both the 2023 and 2024 fall short in comparison. 2024 maintains a lot of heat well after opening up. I get a lot of Anise, some black pepper, but too much heat impacts the balance.

Great brand but this one is a big miss for me. 21 > 23 > 24.

Nose: Nearly overwhelming agave. Sweet, citrusy, a touch of petrichor. Agave is the star of the show. Palate: Agave bomb. There’s something there that just lets you know you’re drinking a Carlos Camarena distillate. Cinnamon, and behind the agave, a fruity note wants to come out. A little bit of orange peel. Well bodied, oily, medium long finish. This is top quality. Here in California, Ocho can regularly found for $34.99 and I’d say that you’d be hard pressed to find a better sipper at that price.
