Mezonte Raicilla Japo Hildegardo Joya Spirits Distilled From Agave (Lot # 4) Agave Amarillo 2019 750 ml

Mezonte is an importer and producer that works with small agave-spirit makers across Mexico, and this release is a raicilla — a distinct agave spirit tradition from Jalisco and Nayarit, related to but legally and culturally separate from mezcal. This bottling, Japo Hildegardo Joya Spirits, Lot #4, is distilled from Agave Amarillo and dated 2019. Traditional raicilla production uses similarly artisanal roasting, fermentation, and pot distillation to mezcal, but with its own regional character. Expect a green, herbal, mineral profile typical of the category, though exact tasting notes for this lot aren't confirmed. For drinkers who've explored mezcal and want to taste a related but distinct agave spirit.

How to drink Mezonte Raicilla

Sip it neat in small pours, the same way you'd taste a rare mezcal, to focus on the specific agave and terroir.
