Las Perlas de Jalisco - Raicilla De Costa 700ml

"Raicilla is a type of mezcal produced primarily in the western Mexican state of Jalisco but also neighboring Nayarit.  While there are similarities to other agave spirits, the types of agaves, cooking, cultivation, terroir and flavor are distinct.  Raicilla is produced in micro-distilleries called tabernas.  These tabernas are either owned by families or communities, serving as a collective – not unlike grain or coffee production.

Las Perlas is distilled at Hacienda El Divisadero by 5th generation raicilleros, The DÍAZ Rubio and DÍAZ Ramos families. The taberna is located near the village of Las Guásimas, about 30 minutes north of El Tuito, the largest town in the Cabo Corrientes municipality.

Coastal raicillas are typically made from the Angustifolia and Rhodacantha varieties of agave, which include verde, chico aguiar, cenizo and amarillo.

TASTING NOTES: Deep agave flavor with floral and vegetal undertones of green pepper and melon. Hints of salinity, minerality and smoke." -Las Perlas de Jalisco
