La Venenosa Etnica Tutsi

La Venenosa Etnica Tutsi (pronounced "Too-chee") is an extraordinarily rare, ancestral agave spirit produced by Maestro Tabernero Don Rafael Carrillo Pizano in collaboration with the indigenous Wixárika (Huichol) community. Hand-milled with machetes, fermented in natural stone pools, and single-distilled in hollowed tree-trunk stills, it represents a centuries-old tradition that produces only a tiny amount each year.
