Raicilla La Venenosa Sinergia (47.6%)

A post-distillation blend of raicilla released for the 15th anniversary of La Venenosa, bringing together nine maestro taberneros and eight agave species from different regions of Jalisco in a 1,500-litre batch. The agaves are Lechuguilla, Amarillo, Chico Aguiar, Cenizo Gigante, Bruto, Masparillo, Cimarrón and Lineño, and distillation took place on clay, copper and Filipino pot stills. It is bottled at 47.6% ABV. The nose shows fresh mountain herbs, brown butter and dry mineral stones. The palate has roasted agave, wild herbs and a spicy mid-palate, with a velvety, full texture and an earthy, funky undertone. The finish is long and warming, earthy, savoury and unpolished, with a subtle smoky touch.
