Unearth the Wild Spirit: La Venenosa Raicilla Sierra Volcanes de Jalisco
Venture into the rugged terrain of southern Jalisco with La Venenosa Raicilla Sierra Volcanes. Crafted in the village of San Juan Espanatica, Tuxpan, this exceptional raicilla is a testament to the artistry of Maestro Tabernero Don Arturo Campos. He meticulously works with cultivated maguey Cenizo (agave Angustifolia), roasting the piñas in an earthen pit oven with fragrant black oak and double-distilling the spirit in a unique ceramic still. This distinct process yields a raicilla that embodies its origin's wild, volcanic landscape.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: Opens with a captivating bouquet of smoky earth and roasted agave, underscored by bright herbal notes reminiscent of wild mint and a subtle hint of minerality. A touch of citrus peel adds a refreshing lift.
- Palate: The palate delivers a complex interplay of flavors. The smokiness from the pit oven is prominent but balanced, mingling with a distinct vegetal character and a subtle sweetness from the cooked agave. Notes of wet stone and a bitter herb contribute to its unique profile. The ceramic distillation imparts a distinct texture and nuanced flavor.
- Finish: The finish is long and intriguing, with the smoky and earthy notes lingering alongside a pleasant minerality and a final whisper of the herbaceous quality. It's a testament to the wild and authentic spirit of Sierra Volcanes raicilla.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
