About this raicilla
La Venenosa Costa Ten Year Anniversary batch is a celebration of 10 years in business for both the La Venenosa brand as well as The Barking Dog in Denmark. This batch was produced by maestra tabernera Blanca Rodriguez using maguey Chico Aguiar in Rancho el Cono, Jalisco.
La Venenosa Raicilla
Raicilla has been produced for over 500 years in the Mexican state of Jalisco, Mexico. Jalisco offers a plethora of agave species, second only to Oaxaca, however the Tequila made in Jalisco can only be made with the blue agave. Raicilla from Jalisco can be made with many different types of agave that are scattered across the landscape. These, along with great diversity in terroir, equipment and techniques, give Raicilla an amazing spectrum of flavor and history.
La Venenosa Raicilla range was created by Chef Esteban Morales to bring these hidden jewels to the global market. Esteban traversed the state in search of the best producers in each region. Every one of these Raicilla expressions is unique; created by different Maestro Taberneros in distinct regions, from different species of agave using diverse techniques, the individual results are astounding. Due to the relatively raw nature of Raicilla production, the ABV of each La Venenosa may vary slightly by batch.

The palate has a big wave of bright fruity sweetness on the front of the palate. That initial wave gives way to additional notes of grilled meats, teriyaki seasoning, burnt sage, and cherries. This is a wild one.
