La Venenosa Tabernas "Los Hermanos" Raicilla, 3rd Edition

La Venenosa Tabernas Raicilla is an ancestral agave spirit crafted from the Chico Aguillar and Lechuguilla varieties. It offers aromas of orange peel, oregano and green apple, with notes of cinnamon and resinous spices on the palate, giving way to a subtle hint of lemongrass.

Each bottling in the La Venenosa range is sourced from a single small-scale distillery, or taberna, in Jalisco, Mexico. While the state is known for its tequila production, Raicilla has been made in Jalisco for 500 years using a diverse array of agave varieties and distillation techniques.

Tequila made in Jalisco can only be made with the blue agave. Raicilla from Jalisco can be made with many different types of agave that are scattered across the landscape. These, along with great diversity in terroir, equipment and techniques, give Raicilla an amazing spectrum of flavor and history.

La Venenosa Raicilla range was created by Chef Esteban Morales to bring these hidden jewels to the global market. Chef Morales traversed the state in search of the best producers in each region. Every one of these Raicilla expressions is unique; created by different Maestro Taberneros in distinct regions, from different species of agave using diverse techniques — the individual results are astounding.
