Aguerrido Mezcal
La Venenosa Blanca
La Venenosa Blanca is an ensemble destilado de agave from Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco. This Lote 3 spirit blends Angustifolia and Rhodacantha agaves at Ixtete in Tequila. Hand milling and Filipino distillation shape its character while the nose offers fruity and earthy notes that carry into the taste. Initial heat subsides, leaving a finish with lingering warmth and persistent earthiness that provides a consistent sensory thread from the first sip to the last. The ABV sits at approximately 48 percent, adding intensity to the profile without overwhelming the delicate agave flavors.

About the Brand
Raicilla has been produced for over 500 years in the Mexican state of Jalisco, Mexico. Jalisco offers a plethora of agave species, second only to Oaxaca, however the Tequila made in Jalisco can only be made with the blue agave. Raicilla from Jalisco can be made with many different types of agave that are scattered across the landscape. These, along with great diversity in terroir, equipment and techniques, give Raicilla an amazing spectrum of flavor and history. La Venenosa Raicilla range was created by Chef Esteban Morales to bring these hidden jewels to the global market. 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. Due to the relatively raw nature of Raicilla production, the ABV of each La Venenosa may vary slightly by batch. Learn more in our blog posts:
