While mezcal often serves as a comparison for raicilla, this spirit offers a distinct experience. Produced in Llano Grande, Jalisco, it utilizes the Rhodacantha agave, which is roasted in an above-ground adobe oven over hot stones, positioned between a traditional mezcal pit and a tequila oven. Subsequently, the agave is hand-ground and subjected to double distillation in a wooden still constructed from Higuera Blanca wood.

The aromas are very mezcal-like, with smoky agave. Some sweet apple and pear notes are also present. The flavors are dominated by smoke and a sweet, tangy fruitiness. Cooked agave reappears, followed by a strong burn and a lengthy finish. It leaves a smoky, burnt aftertaste.
One of the most unusual things I've ever experienced, yet it's so captivating that you can't help but keep tasting to discover the next emerging flavors.
Wow, it's sophisticated and possesses the typical balance of unique, smooth, smoky, and herbaceous qualities, like a beautiful flower in a bouquet!
Blue cheese on the nose. Notes of meat and leather on the palate. Highly distinctive. A quick finish.
