In order to provide excellent quality raicilla at an approachable price, we got creative. Esteban, the founder of La Venenosa, found a producer who had been holding a large batch of amazing raicilla for many years and was happy to sell it at a special price. We realized that we could continue to find opportunities like this by batch hunting at different tabernas, which is the local name for distilleries and a very fitting name for these expressions.

Read MoreLa Venenosa Sierra Occidental is a single distilled spirit made from Agave Maximiliana. It is viscous, beautifully acidic and is an opportunity to feel connected to the agave.

Read MoreTobalá is a tiny agave with a bold soul. With high levels of saponins and terpenes, we get mezcals that are very complex, often lighting up all the tastebuds. Extra care is taken when harvesting because when raw it will irritate the skin of even the most seasoned. From Enrique’s hands these mezcals will often be both fruity and saline.

Read MoreFriendly, elegant and complex, this ensemble is made with a wood and copper internal condensing, or filipino style, still. The luscious mountains of Michoacán offer many fantastic mezcals and this is a fine example.
