Overview

Raicilla, a type of Mezcal originating from Jalisco with a history of over 600 years, found its unique identity in the 1780s. Crafters cleverly renamed their mezcal to Raicilla to avoid a tax enforced by the Spanish crown, successfully convincing tax collectors of its distinction. Despite its deep roots, Raicilla remains relatively unknown, largely overshadowed by the global fame of tequila, particularly in Jalisco. Yet, Jalisco boasts a remarkable variety of agave species and diverse landscapes, contributing to Raicilla's diverse flavors and historical depth. La Venenosa Raicilla, founded by chef Esteban Morales in 2011, aims to unveil these hidden gems globally. Esteban journeyed across Jalisco, curating a collection of six unique Raicillas crafted by skilled distillers, each employing traditional techniques and sourced from different regions, showcasing the varied agave types and production methods.
