The Amula region's semi-warm microclimate and ancient production techniques give this raicilla a grounded, mineral-rich character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect aromas of minerals, wet grass and cooked agave, with an earthy palate and distinct saline qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bottle with its golden label is a prized find for agave enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly from a copita.\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\u003eRaicilla, made in western Jalisco from several native agave species, gained its own appellation of origin in 2019, recognising a centuries-old tradition long overshadowed by tequila. Producers in the Sierra de Amula work in tiny batches, so each bottling reflects one maker, one place and one season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minerals, wet grass and cooked agave.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthy and grounded, with saline notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral.\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 (Don Ricardo Juárez)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raicilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra de Amula\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Las Canoas, Sierra de Amula, 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 slowly from a copita at room temperature.
