Crafted using the revered amarillo maguey, a variety of Agave rhodacantha, the production process showcases traditional methods that pay homage to the spirit's rich heritage. The agave is carefully cooked in an underground pit oven, extracting its essence by hand in canoas. The fermentation process utilizes pristine spring water, further enhancing the spirit's character. Finally, the liquid is meticulously distilled in copper and parota wood, ensuring a refined and authentic expression.
With a production yield of 400 liters, this limited-edition Raicilla is a testament to the small-scale production and attention to detail that sets it apart. Each bottle is a tribute to the captivating beauty and distinct flavors of Cabo Corrientes and its surrounding community.
