It has earned a 97-point Platinum rating from the Beverage Testing Institute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaicilla is a traditional agave distillate from the rugged sierra and coastal regions of Jalisco, with roots stretching back centuries and an identity distinct from tequila and mezcal in both its agave sources and its regional production culture. El Acabo sources wild and semi-cultivated agave, slow-cooks it before fermentation and double distils in small copper pot stills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name El Acabo pays tribute to a festive community celebration held at the end of the agave harvest at the Hacienda de Ahuacatepec. The Plata shows good maximiliana character and is an approachable introduction to raicilla, as at home in cocktails as an alternative to Espadín mezcal as it is sipped neat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA taste of Jalisco's mountain spirit, it makes a fascinating gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgave maximiliana is one of the main agaves used for raicilla in the mountains of western Jalisco, prized for its bright, fruity character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaicilla was long made outside the official tequila and mezcal categories, and only in recent decades has it become widely available beyond Jalisco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlata means it is bottled unaged, so the agave's character comes through clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e El Acabo (Tres Gallos Taberna, distiller Adán Hernández)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raicilla, Plata (unaged)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agave maximiliana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double distilled in small copper pot stills\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 Ahuacatepec, Jalisco, 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 from a copita, or use it in place of mezcal in a Margarita or Paloma.
