Bonete Raicilla Sierra

Bonete Raicilla Sierra is an agave spirit from the state of Jalisco, Mexico, made by maestro tabernero Luis Aguirre around the town of La Estancia. It is a raicilla de la sierra produced from Agave maximiliana: the agaves are cooked above ground in an adobe oven fired with black oak, fermented with wild yeasts and distilled just once in a stainless steel still. Raicilla is traditionally bottled at a lower strength than many mezcals, and this release is bottled at 41.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle; strength can vary slightly from lot to lot.

Serve: Neat at room temperature in a small glass, sipped slowly.
