Kilinga Bacanora
Batuq Reserva de la Casa
Batuq Reserva de la Casa is a Joven Bacanora from Sonora. This Angustifolia spirit reaches 50% ABV through copper distillation. The agave matures for ten to twenty years before harvest. Aromas of incense, juniper, and sandalwood define the nose. The palate offers clean minty notes with spearmint and crabapple undertones. Heavy black licorice emerges midway through the tasting profile. A long finish delivers a slightly numbing sensation on the tongue. This higher proof expression intensifies flavors compared to the standard Blanco. The sensory depth leans toward traditional mezcal territory while retaining its distinct Sonoran identity.

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).
