Description
Mezcal: La Venenosa Raicilla Sur
La Venenosa Sur is made in Sur de Jalisco from both foraged Angustifolia and Cenizo agave. An earthy and herbaceous raicilla that makes a great sipper.
Size: 750ML
Proof: 94 (47% ABV)
Origin: Mexico
Distillery: Don Macario Partida
La Venenosa Raicilla Sur is produced by Maestro Tabernero Don Macario Partida in the village of Zapotitlan de Vadillo at approximately 1,200 metres above sea level. The agave used is a type of Angustifolia known locally as Lineño, which is harvested after seven years. Agave Angustifolia is the parent species to Agave Espadin, however this is labeled as a Agave Cenizo Costeño on some of these bottles; this is likely regional nomenclature. The agave is roasted in an earthen oven and it is then distilled twice in a philippino style still made from clay pots.
