Sold in the raicilla category for convenience, it is known locally as tutsi, and only two or three small batches of about 45 litres are made each year. This bottle is 48% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTutsi was lost for around 25 years and today has only one practising producer. This release is made from Masparillo agave (Agave guadalajarana) in Tatei Kie, La Guayaba, by Rafael Carrillo Pizano. The agave is cooked in an earthen pit with volcanic rock and oak, then distilled just once in a hollowed-out tree-trunk still fitted with a copper pipe, an ancestral method that makes each batch unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a complex spirit, with ripe stone fruit and a deeply savoury, gently smoky character, cooked plum and fresh mint, woodsy notes, citrus and minerality, and an earthy, rustic texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bottle comes in a wooden case and carries La Venenosa's Étnica label with Huichol-inspired artwork, making it a treasured piece for collectors of rare agave spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly and respectfully; it is a living piece of Wixárika culture as much as a drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe stone fruit, savoury smoke and woodsy notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cooked plum, fresh mint, citrus and minerality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthy and rustic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Venenosa (Rafael Carrillo Pizano, Wixárika)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Destilado de Agave (raicilla category)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Étnica Tutsi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96 proof (48% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agave guadalajarana; pit roasted, single distillation in a tree-trunk still\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tatei Kie, La Guayaba, 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 slowly from a copita at room temperature.
