Experience the Forbidden Spirit of
the Sierra Madre
Hidden away in the misty mountains of Jalisco, a secret has been brewing for centuries. Raicilla, the once-forbidden spirit, is now ready to reveal itself to the world, inviting adventurous souls to taste its untamed essence.
STORY
A Spirit Shrouded In Shadows
For centuries, Raicilla production was shrouded in secrecy, a clandestine operation carried out in the depths of the Sierra Madre mountains. Like a thrilling tale of rebellion, the spirit’s creators defied strict government regulations, risking it all to preserve their ancient craft. Today, the once-forbidden Raicilla has emerged from the shadows, a testament to the unwavering dedication of its producers. With each sip, you’ll taste the echoes of a triumphant past, a spirit that refused to be tamed by convention. Join us as we raise a glass to the rebels who dared to dream and savor the fruits of their daring endeavors.
Our Raicilla is crafted from the elusive wild Maximiliana agave, a species that thrives in the rugged terrain of the Sierra Madre mountains. These untamed plants are carefully harvested by skilled jimadores who have honed their craft over generations. The result is a spirit of unparalleled complexity, a true reflection of the wild beauty from which it was born.

DISTILLER
Two Brothers Safeguarding Tradition
Benito and Jose Salcedo Rios are third-generation Raicilleros who have dedicated their lives to preserving the art of Raicilla-making. Benito, an agronomist and engineer, tends to the wild Maximiliana agave with a scientist’s precision and a poet’s love. Jose, trained by his legendary grandfather Don Felix, masterfully oversees the cooking, fermenting, and distilling process, pouring decades of wisdom into every batch. Together, these brothers have created an exceptional Raicilla that pays homage to their ancestral roots while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
