Tomas Artesanal Raicilla took three years in the making. Small batch handmade production of only 240 bottles. Tomas Artesanal Raicilla is produced in the mountains of Western Jalisco. We followed the traditional method of ‘mellowing’ the spirit by resting it in glass for over two years. Then, as a final step we spiked our Raicilla with high-ABV Puntas. Puntas refers to the first part (cut) of the second distillation and is considered the purest form of mezcal. This added character, kick, and complexity,
Tomas Artesanal Raicilla is made with agave Maximiliana and is produced by master raicillero Gerardo Peña. Don Gerarado does everything by hand, from planting and harvesting the agave Maximiliana, roasting the agave in a wood-fired adobe oven of his own unique design, mashing and fermenting the agave, and distilling the spirit in stills that he designed and built himself. We honor his spirit by bottling and labeling our Raicilla by hand as well.
