La Venenosa

View Full Description [+ Read More]

La Venenosa is a mezcal and raicilla producer based in Jalisco, Mexico, focused on wild and cultivated agave spirits made through traditional artisanal methods. Their raicilla expressions are distilled in small batches using clay and copper pot stills, drawing from distinct regional terroirs across Jalisco. The Sierra del Tigre de Jalisco and Sierra Volcanes de Jalisco bottles each reflect the specific highland zones where the agaves are harvested. Coastal agave character comes through in the Raicilla Costa, while Tabernas Los Hermanos Raicilla and Tabernas Raicilla represent lowland production. The Tigre Special Edition Raicilla offers a limited expression from that same sierra zone. At the apex sits Don Guelos 20 Year Heritage Blue Weber Agave Spirit, an extended-aging release that stands apart from the younger raicilla expressions anchoring the rest of their range.
