Description

At Estancia, we take pride in distilling the finest Tequilana agave, crafting a distillate that embodies tradition and the natural beauty of our region.
Our process begins with the careful harvesting of the agave hearts, or piñas, which are then slowly baked in traditional adobe ovens for several days. After baking, the piñas are crushed and placed in open clay amphoras, where they undergo natural fermentation using indigenous wild yeasts. This ancient technique allows the true essence of the agave to develop.

The spirit is then distilled twice in our custom-made copper pot stills, resulting in a refined, aromatic profile. Estancia Raicilla Tequilana captures fresh notes of mint, freshly cut grass, and a medley of spices, creating a truly classic distillate that reflects the unique terroir of the Sierra Madre.

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.
