LEARN MORE ABOUT RAICILLA

Raicilla is one of the many different varieties of spirits that can be distilled out of the Agave plant and has its origin in what we historically would call Mezcal. As discussed in our other videos, Mezcal in its historical meaning can encompass all Agave distilled spirits from Mexico, but nowadays has its own rules.  Raicilla means ‘little root’ and refers to the Agave plant, as the plant itself is massive, but the root’s aren’t particularly deep. 

Raicilla is a type of Mezcal that falls outside of the modern day rules, meaning that it has its own denomination now and its own set of rules of what can be considered Raicilla.
