Raicilla has been made in Mexico for over 500 years and pre-dates the pre-hispanic era. In its early forms, it would have been classed as agave distilled spirit, akin to Mezcal. With its recent Denomination of Origin Protection in 2019, Raicilla as a stand-alone category is booming. La Venenosa Raicilla is the OG brand when it comes to Raicilla. The brand was created in 2011 by chef and Maestro Esteban Morales to bring these hidden Raicilla gems to the global market. In this expression, La Venenosa Sierra Volcanes is made in the southern region of Jalisco in the village of San Juan Espanatica, Tuxpan. This is made by Maestro Tabernero Don Arturo Campos with cultivated maguey Cenizo (agave Angustifolia). – Suppliers notes
