Tepanal Ancestral Tobalá Puntas is one of the smallest and most expressive batches ever produced by the García Quiroz family in Santa María Sola de Vega, and this 18 liter lot was hand selected by the K&L Spirits Buyers for its remarkable purity and power. Maestro Rafael García Aragón harvested fully mature capón Tobalá from the local potatorum and seemanniana variants that grow wild in the hills surrounding Tepanaltepec, choosing plants at peak sugar concentration for maximum depth. The agaves were slow roasted for three days in the family’s conical stone oven, milled with the electric shredder to open the dense fibers, and fermented naturally with wild yeasts in sabino wood vats for three to five days. Double distillation in small clay pots followed, and Rafael selected only the puntas fraction, the highest proof and most aromatic portion of the run, relying entirely on sensory cuts with venencia and jícara. Bottled at a natural 59.4 percent ABV with only 24 bottles yielded, it delivers lifted floral intensity, bright mineral tension, wild fruit, and a concentrated clay driven backbone that defines Sola de Vega’s ancestral character. This is a rare, precision made expression from a family that has preserved clay pot distillation for three generations and a true one of a kind release available only through K&L.
