Estancia Estancia Distillery Raicilla 375 ml

Estancia Raicilla is an agave spirit from Jalisco, distinct from both tequila and mezcal under Mexican regulation, traditionally produced in the state's coastal and mountain regions using methods and agave varieties different from the Tequila Valley's blue Weber-focused production. Raicilla has its own denomination of origin and a smaller, more artisanal production scale than tequila. Expect an earthy, herbal, slightly smoky profile that sits stylistically between tequila and mezcal without being identical to either. A good bottle for adventurous agave-spirit drinkers looking to explore beyond the two most familiar categories.

How to drink Estancia Raicilla

Sip it neat, the way you would a mezcal, to take in its earthy, herbal character. It's a spirit worth tasting on its own before deciding whether to mix it into a cocktail.
