Kilinga Bacanora
Batuq Reposado
Batuq Reposado is a Bacanora, an agave spirit from Sonora protected by Mexican denomination of origin rules since 2000. It must be made from Agave angustifolia Haw, known locally as yaquiana. Production is limited to 35 municipalities in eastern Sonora after being prohibited from 1915 to 1992. This specific label is a Reposado, meaning it rests in oak containers for at least two months and less than one year. The short time in wood adds light color and rounds the spirit while the agave stays in front, placing this bottle within that defined category.

About the Brand
Batuq Bacanora is owned by the family of Rafael Encinas Molina. It’s produced on their ranch outside of San Pedro de la Cuerva, Sonora, MX. Rafael Encinas Molina does not like the flavor of wood and smoke and his goal is to maximize the flavor of the agave, so he uses a hybrid method. The harvested pinas; are processed two ways: 1) roasted underground in a traditional shallow maya; with mesquite and ironwood for 48 hours, and 2) processed in a mesquite fired autoclave (no electricity on ranch).
