Raicilla la Venenosa Tabernas

Raicilla La Venenosa Tabernas was created by chef Esteban Morales in 2011.

AGAVE: Chico Aguiar.

FERMENTATION: Food-grade plastic containers.

DISTILLATION: 2 distillations in a Filipino-type stainless steel still.

Esteban traveled throughout much of the state of Jalisco in search of the best Raicilla producers in each region.

The result is a unique collection of 6 Raicilla expressions.

Each expression, as distinct as its origin and its master tavern keeper, reflects the different distillation techniques used to produce this great spirit.

Raicilla is a distilled alcoholic beverage that is produced in the state of Jalisco, Mexico.

It is often compared to tequila and mezcal, but raicilla has its own distinctive flavor and a long history in the region's culture.

One of the best known and most respected brands of raicilla is La Venenosa Tabernas, which has won several awards for its exceptional quality and authentic flavor.

Raicilla is made from the wild agave maximiliana plant, which is found in the forests of the Jalisco mountains.

The plant takes 8 to 12 years to mature before it can be harvested.

After the harvest, the agave hearts are cooked in a stone oven for several days.

Then it is ground and fermented in large wooden barrels before being distilled.

La Venenosa Tabernas is distinguished by its traditional production process, which is carried out in small quantities to guarantee the quality and authenticity of the drink.

Distillation is carried out in copper stills and is done in three stages: the head, the body, and the tail.

Each of these stages is carefully separated to obtain only the best and purest liquor.

La Venenosa Tabernas raicilla is characterized by its intense and complex flavor.

It has notes of tropical fruits, herbs and spices, making it a perfect drink to be enjoyed on its own or mixed in cocktails.

In addition, La Venenosa Tabernas produces several varieties of raicilla, including an aged variety that has been matured in oak barrels for several years.

In addition to its exceptional flavor, La Venenosa Tabernas cares about sustainability and the environment.

The brand works closely with local communities to protect the land and promote sustainable farming practices.

They also make sure to use only mature agave maximiliana plants and respect the appropriate harvest times to ensure the natural renewal of the plants.
