Producer Description
"La Venenosa Tabernas Raicilla is an ancestral agave spirit crafted from the Chico Aguillar and Lechuguilla varieties. It offers aromas of orange peel, oregano and green apple, with notes of cinnamon and resinous spices on the palate, giving way to a subtle hint of lemongrass. Each bottling in the La Venenosa range is sourced from a single small-scale distillery, or taberna, in Jalisco, Mexico. While the state is known for its tequila production, Raicilla has been made in Jalisco for 500 years using a diverse array of agave varieties and distillation techniques."

A mezcal in everything but name, this is labelled as 'spirit distilled from 100% Agave'. You can read between the lines on that, though. It is made with Arroqueno Agave that is fermented in pine vats and then distilled in clay pots by Mezcalerro Tio Pedro Hernandez Arrellanes. It is bottled in very small batches.
From The Producer
"Tío Pedro Hernandez Arrellanes has been making spirits for more than 50 years in Santa Catarina Minas, where nearly every palenque in town preserves the ancestral tradition of distilling in clay pots crafted in the village of Santa Maria Atzompa. With the help of his nephew Lalo, Tío Pedro produced this batch of Arroqueño at his palenque, La Esperanza. Tío Pedro's batch sizes are often relatively small due to the capacity of his production methods. This particular spirit exudes boldness as soon as it is opened and presents a pleasant honeyed sweetness on the palate."

Made from the most widely available Agave variety, the Doba Yej from Los Siete Misterios is the flagship of their Mezcal line and the most readily available. It is also very well priced! 44% ABV.
From The Producer
"This is the first Mezcal that we have launched, distilled in a copper still and from a region other than the traditional one of Siete Misterios, Sola de Vega. After 3 years of seeing how Mezcal flooded the best places in Mexico and as a lover of the most demanding palates around the world, we saw that there was a gap where Mezcal could reach more people and diversify its way of being enjoyed; through the cocktail bar. For this reason we decided to launch this well-balanced Mezcal, which would have all the characteristics of a great Mezcal to be enjoyed on its own, as well as having enough character and strength to be mixed behind the bars without ever losing its essence. With 44% alc/vol it has the perfect balance to coexist in both worlds, in addition to its aromas and flavors being sublimely perceived both on the nose,"
