La Venenosa Raicilla Tabernas

A Taste of Jalisco’s Wild Spirit

Embark on a sensory journey with La Venenosa Raicilla Tabernas, a testament to the time-honored artisan traditions of Jalisco, Mexico. Crafted in small-scale distilleries known as “tabernas” by passionate distillers called “taberneros,” this exceptional spirit offers a glimpse into the diverse terroir of a region rich in agave heritage.

For over five centuries, raicilla has flowed from the heart of Jalisco, a land boasting Mexico’s second-highest diversity of agave species. Unlike its famed cousin, Tequila, which is strictly limited to blue agave, raicilla embraces a captivating array of agave varieties scattered across the landscape, resulting in a spectrum of unique and expressive flavors.

The La Venenosa Raicilla Tabernas line celebrates this diversity, with each edition offering a slightly different character, reflecting the specific agave and methods employed by the individual tabernero. This makes every bottle a discovery, a limited expression of Jalisco’s wild spirit.
