In the 1780’s artisans who crafted their mezcals adopted the name Raicilla, to avoid a tax levied by the Spanish Crown. La Venenosa Raicilla, was created four years ago, by Chef Esteban Morales. Esteban criss-crossed parts of Mexico in search of the best producers in each region. The results today are 4 unique Raicillas made by 4 different Maestro Taberneros from 4 different regions of 4 different species of agave using 4 different techniques.
