It has a hidden history: although made in Sonora for centuries, it was prohibited from 1915 until 1992, and its denomination of origin was established in 2000. Aguamiel is made from Agave pacifica, which grows wild in the rugged Sonoran landscape rather than being cultivated, using traditional production methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt shows the earthy, smoky, anise and mesquite character specific to Sonoran agave spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roadrunner label makes it a distinctive gift for agave explorers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBacanora is often called Sonora's hidden agave spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgave pacifica grows wild on Sonoran hillsides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it in a copita or a small glass at room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly to let the earthy notes open up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt works in a Bacanora Margarita with fresh lime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry it in a Paloma with grapefruit soda.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair a pour with grilled meats from the Sonoran grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a fun gift for agave explorers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthy and smoky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anise and mesquite.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unaged bacanora.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aguamiel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bacanora blanco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agave pacifica (angustifolia haw)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84 proof (42% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sonora, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat in a copita with orange slices, or mix a smoky Margarita.
