About this bottle
Raicilla Malpaso is a small-batch raicilla, Mexico's lesser-known agave spirit, made from hand-harvested Maximiliana agave near Playa Malpaso on the coast of Nayarit. Unlike tequila or mezcal, raicilla has its own regional tradition dating back centuries and was historically suppressed by Spanish colonial authorities — it's fermented with native yeasts in clay amphoras and double-distilled in copper. The result is agave-forward and sweet, with citrus, stone fruit and a hint of vanilla, herbaceous rather than heavily smoked. A spirit for drinkers who've worked through tequila and mezcal and want the next agave category to explore.
How to drink Raicilla Malpaso
Sip it neat the way you would a mezcal — raicilla's whole appeal is a character distinct from tequila, and mixing it into a standard cocktail buries that. If you do want a cocktail, treat it like a mezcal substitute in a Paloma.
