Point Blank isn’t just tequila. It is a bold declaration of truth, taste, and tradition.
Born in the Highlands of Jalisco, Point Blank Tequila is crafted with integrity and obsession. We’ve poured everything into every drop — our experience, our passion, our commitment to doing things the hard way, the honest way.
The result? A super-premium, additive-free tequila that doesn’t cut corners, doesn’t hide behind gimmicks, and doesn’t apologize for being excellent.
How It’s Made: The Point Blank Tequila Process
Mountain-grown organic agave is where it all begins. Harvested by hand at peak maturity by seasoned jimadores, each piña is a product of patience and precision — because good tequila begins in the soil.
From the field to the final pour, every step is shaped by tradition, time, and the discerning eye of our master distiller — Zandra Gomez Santiago — whose standards of excellence are infused into every batch. Crafted at Desiladora Agave Azul, a family-run distillery in the birthplace of tequila, our juice is slow-cooked in ovens, naturally fermented, and triple-checked for clarity, character, and complexity.
Here’s an overview of how the experts at Point Blank transform raw agave into bold, honest, additive-free tequila.
1. Growing the Agave
We start in the Highlands of Jalisco, where mountain-grown Blue Weber agave matures slowly under the sun. Rich volcanic soil and cool nights create the sweet, complex piñas we’re known for.
2. Harvesting the Agave
Each agave is hand-selected and harvested at peak maturity by seasoned jimadores using a sharp-bladed coa. It’s precision work — and the first cut in our promise of purity.
3. Slow-Cooking in Ovens
The piñas are slow-roasted in stainless steel autoclaves to caramelize natural sugars. No flash heat, no additives — just time, temperature, and tradition.
4. Extraction of Agave Juice
Cooked agave is crushed with a roller mill to release aguamiel, the rich, golden juice at the heart of every pour. We capture every drop with care — nothing wasted, nothing added.
5. Fermentation
In this stage, wild and cultivated yeasts awaken. The rich agave juice begins its transformation—bubbling, breathing, alive. Over days, sugars surrender to time and temperature, becoming the spirit beneath the surface. Nothing rushed. Nothing masked. Just raw, patient alchemy.
6. Distillation
Purity isn’t an accident—it’s an art. Through fire and copper, we distill our tequila with intention, separating the heart from the rest. What remains is crystal clear: bold agave character, layered complexity, and nothing that doesn’t belong.
7. Barrel Charring
Before tequila meets wood, fire prepares the barrel. We char the oak to unlock layers of flavor—vanilla, smoke, and spice waiting to be drawn out. It’s the first spark of character.
8. Aging in Charred Oak Barrels
To deepen the spirit, we rest select tequilas in charred oak barrels. No artificial color. No added sweeteners. Just oak, fire, and time—shaping bold complexity from patient stillness.
Our juice doesn’t hide. No artificial flavors, no shortcuts, no hidden sweeteners. Every batch is 100% additive-free tequila, crafted for those who value what’s real. What you taste is the result of time-honored techniques, natural ingredients, and expert hands. We don’t mask our tequila — we reveal it.
