Description

The Razo family, now in their fourth generation, has been producing exceptional agave-based spirits in a region known for its pulque for millennia. For centuries, the pulque crafted in San Isidro has been sold by the Del Razo family in traditional pulquerías across Puebla and Mexico City. Today, they continue this rich tradition with their unique Destilado de Pulque, an agave distillate made from the sap of the Salmiana-Manso agave.

The sap, or aguamiel, is collected daily over three months and naturally ferments into pulque. Unlike other agave spirits, the agave is never cooked, preserving the raw essence of the plant. This results in a distillate with vibrant green and earthy aromas that burst on the nose, showcasing the distinct characteristics of the Agave salmiana.

About This Brand

Estancia Raicilla is proudly crafted in the Sierra Occidental, making it a Sierra Raicilla, which delivers a bold and complex flavor influenced by the highland terrain. Historically, the name "Raicilla" (meaning "little root") was a clever adaptation used by distillers to avoid taxes on mezcal production centuries ago. Today, Raicilla reflects the ingenuity and rich cultural heritage of Jalisco’s artisanal craftsmanship.
