Raicilla is a distilled spirit made 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 culture of the region. One of the most well-known and 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 highland forests of Jalisco. The plant takes 8 to 12 years to mature before it can be harvested. After harvesting, the agave piñas are cooked in a stone oven for several days. It is then ground and fermented in large wooden barrels before being distilled.

La Venenosa Tabernas is distinguished by its traditional production process, which is done in small batches to ensure the quality and authenticity of the beverage. 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, which makes it a perfect drink to be enjoyed alone 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.
