Producer Description
"La Venenosa Tabernas Raicilla is an ancestral agave spirit crafted from the Chico Aguillar and Lechuguilla varieties. It offers aromas of orange peel, oregano and green apple, with notes of cinnamon and resinous spices on the palate, giving way to a subtle hint of lemongrass. Each bottling in the La Venenosa range is sourced from a single small-scale distillery, or taberna, in Jalisco, Mexico. While the state is known for its tequila production, Raicilla has been made in Jalisco for 500 years using a diverse array of agave varieties and distillation techniques."
