Raicilla is an agave distillate like mezcal - just made in a different state of Mexico (Jalisco, to be precise)
Bonete Raicilla Sierra is made with agave Maximiliana in a single distillation. The agaves are cooked above ground in an adobe oven with black oak firewood. They are then fermented with wild yeasts, and single distilled in a stainless steel alambic still.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
