La Venenosa Raicilla Sierra del Tigre is a Mexican agave spirit produced by Maestro Tabernero Don Luis Contreras in La Manzanilla de la Paz, Jalisco, in the Sierra del Tigre highlands. Made from wild-foraged Agave inaequidens (locally known as Bruto), it is roasted in an earthen pit over wood embers, naturally fermented in underground wooden tubs and single-distilled in a traditional clay Filipino-style still. Production is limited to roughly 700 liters annually, with batches bottled at approximately 43% to 46.5% ABV. It typically retails for around $140.
Tons of lush ripe fruit notes such as papaya, passion fruit, ripe mango, and tangerine flood your senses before those barnyard aromas come back with dashes of cocoa and black pepper.
