La Venenosa Sierra Volcanes de Jalisco is a red-label raicilla made by maestro tabernero Don Arturo Campos from cultivated Cenizo agave (Agave angustifolia, maguey Cenizo gigante) in the village of San Juan Espanatica in Tuxpan, southern Jalisco. This 200ml bottle is 46.1% ABV.
The agave is roasted in a pit oven with black oak and double distilled in a ceramic still, an ancestral method that gives a rich, earthy and smoky raicilla.
La Venenosa launched in 2014 as the first raicilla brand to enter the United States legally, and its colour-coded labels each represent a different region and maestro of Jalisco.
The 200ml size is a perfect way to discover raicilla, or to collect La Venenosa's regional labels.
