La Venenosa Puntas

After spending 15 years working alongside the families that produce agave spirits throughout Mexico and learning from the many styles of production, Esteban Morales decided to start his own distillery with modern techniques but with the commitment to create complex spirits. He named the project Antithesis because he wants to show that the application of technology in agave spirits does not take away the complexity.

La Venenosa blazed the trail with its first release of Puntas in 2016. This overproof Raicilla delivers an explosion of flavor and intensity while being remarkably smooth.
