About Us

Our quest for the perfect raicilla began with a journey deep into the heart of western Jalisco, where the spirit of adventure and respect for ancient traditions guided our path. We traversed the rugged landscapes and untouched wilds, driven by a singular mission: to bring an unparalleled raicilla experience back to the United States. Our search was not just for any raicilla but for a liquid treasure that honored the centuries-old craftsmanship and the natural environment where it's born.

In our pursuit, we discovered an exclusive selection of premium, authentic raicilla—our joven blanco and reposado varieties, each a testament to the dedication and passion of the local distillers. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a profound respect for the traditional methods passed down through generations, these bottles encapsulate the very soul of Jalisco's coast.

Each bottle we offer is a labor of love, a piece of art infused with the rich Mexican heritage and the stories of resilience and passion that have flourished in this region for centuries. Our journey wasn't just about finding raicilla; it was about forging a bridge between the ancient traditions of Jalisco and the discerning palates of the United States, delivering a taste of the wild, untamed spirit of Mexico in every sip.

What is Raicilla?

Raicilla's story is woven with intrigue and defiance, originating from a clever plot to elude the heavy taxes imposed by Spanish colonialists. This 100% agave-based spirit, akin to mezcal yet distinct in its production within Jalisco and other designated regions of Mexico, has long been crafted by hand in hidden jungle tavernas. Our specialty, the coastal raicilla from Cabo Corrientes, carries the essence of this rich heritage.

The culture surrounding raicilla mirrors the early days of tequila, harking back 300 years when it was a guarded secret among the locals. Today marks a pivotal chapter in raicilla's history as it steps into the limelight for the first time, shedding its clandestine past. This emergence celebrates not just the spirit's unique character but also its journey from a tactic of rebellion to a celebrated emblem of Mexican tradition and craftsmanship.
