Cola Blanca Bacanora 750 ML

Cola Blanca Bacanora is a bacanora, an agave spirit legally classified as a category of mezcal produced specifically in the Mexican state of Sonora from the wild Agave angustifolia Pacifica variety. Bacanora has its own denomination of origin separate from tequila or mainstream Oaxacan mezcal, and was actually banned in Mexico for decades before legalization in the 1990s, giving it a smaller, more regional production footprint than either category. Expect a smoky, earthy profile similar to other mezcals, with a slightly different agave character from the Pacifica variety and Sonora's specific growing conditions.

How to drink Cola Blanca Bacanora

Sip it neat in a small clay copita, the traditional way agave spirits from this region are taken. It's distinctive enough as a regional style that it's worth trying on its own before deciding whether to mix it into a cocktail.
