Puntas: Drop-dead delicious or just drop dead?

Puntas are (among) the first spirits that come off a still – the heads, is what they’re called. Or foreshots, if you’re reading some of the online resources for moonshiners. And those resources suggest they might be harmful. Mezcaleros suggest they’re definitely delicious. Tom Bartram and I attempt to settle that score in this episode of Agave Road Trip!

Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico. This episode is hosted by Lou Bank with special guest Tom Bartram of Speciality Brands.
