About this bottle
La Venenosa Raicilla Sierra Occidental de Jalisco is a raicilla — a wild agave spirit distinct from tequila, made in the mountains of western Jalisco rather than the Tequila DOC. La Venenosa, founded by Sylvia Iglesias-Philippe, works with small-batch producers using traditional pot stills and wild or semi-cultivated agave varieties native to the sierra. Expect an earthy, herbal, high-proof spirit with a raw, rustic character, typically bottled between 40 and 50 percent ABV — closer to a rustic mezcal than a polished tequila.
How to drink La Venenosa Raicilla
Sip it neat in a small copita, the way it's traditionally drunk in the sierra — its rustic, wild-agave character isn't meant to be smoothed out with a mixer.
