LA VENENOSA Raicilla Puntas 'Don Gerado Pena -Jalisco,Mexico Bottle (70cl) 64%abv ADF - NO DISCOUNT (los)

Description

Made in Jalisco, Mexico, but falling outside the Tequila denomination, La Venenosa Raicilla follows a distilling tradition that is nearly 500 years old. Created by “Chef” Esteban Morales, La Venenosa showcases the many varieties of agave and distillation techniques native to Jalisco. Esteban traversed the state in search of the best producers in each region. Every one of these Raicilla expressions is unique; created by different Maestro Taberneros in distinct regions, from different species of agave using diverse techniques, the individual results are astounding.

La Venenosa Puntas is a prized and rare spirit. The puntas in this case refers to the upper portions of the agave hearts and the portion of the distillate separated right above them. This Raicilla is 63% ABV (126 proof!), but it is elegant, subtle, and incredibly complex. It’s produced by Gerardo Pena (the cousin of Don Ruben Pena) with agave Maximiliana in Jacales, Jalisco. This Raicilla is fermented in a 200 litre oak vat and double distilled in a stainless steel still.
