Raicilla
The symbol of cultural identity and pride of the people of Jalisco.
About Raicilla
Raicilla is a traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage that falls into the same category as mezcal and tequila but possesses distinct characteristics that set it apart. Originating from the state of Jalisco, particularly from the Sierra Occidental region, raicilla is made from various species of agave, such as Agave lechuguilla, Agave inaequidens, and Agave angustifolia, among others.
Raicilla is known for its complex flavor profile, which can vary widely depending on the type of agave used and the production methods. It often exhibits a range of flavors from herbal and earthy notes to smoky undertones. Compared to other mezcals, raicilla is generally considered to have a smoother taste, though it can still be quite potent in terms of alcohol content.

Production process of Raicilla
The production process of raicilla is highly artisanal and involves several key steps. The agave piñas (hearts) are first cooked in traditional stone or clay ovens, which imparts unique flavors to the agave. After cooking, the agave is left to ferment naturally in wooden vats or barrels, where wild yeast and bacteria play a crucial role in the fermentation process. Following fermentation, the liquid is distilled using copper stills or, in some cases, clay stills. The distillation process can be either single or double, depending on local traditions and the desired flavor profile.
