La Venenosa Raicilla Costa
This Raicilla Costa has aromas of gravel, rubber inner tubes and old wood smoke, unusual and very like a Mezcal. The palate is sweeter than the aroma and has notes of pepper spice with orchard fruit. The finish is rather herbal with a hint of menthol. This Raicilla is produced by Maestro Tabernero Don Alberto Hernández in the village of Llano Grande of the coastal region Cabo Corrientes, 700 metres above sea level. Don Alberto cultivates a mix of agaves: Rhodecantha and Angustifolia. Rhodecantha matures after 12 years and Angustifolia after eight. The agave is roasted in a wood fired adobe oven. It is distilled two times in a Philippino still made out of copper and a hollowed out tree trunk.
La Venenosa Raicilla Sur
This Raicilla Sur has sharp raw and smoky aromas from the cooked agave with a touch of pepper. The palate is soft and sweet with a baseline of earthy tones that give way to candied fruit and sugar syrup. To finish this is sweet, creamy and slowly comes to a dry end. This Raicilla is produced by Maestro Tabernero Don Arturo Campos in the village of San Juan Espanatica, Tuxpan (Jalisco) at approximately 1,400 metres above sea level. The agave used is both Cenizo and a type of Angustifolia known locally as Lineño, which is harvested after seven years. The agave is roasted in an earthen oven and it is then distilled twice in a philippino style still made from clay pots.
