Born from the rugged highlands of Sonora, Aguamiel Bacanora Blanco represents one of Mexico's most storied and lesser-known agave spirits, crafted from the wild Agave pacifica that thrives in the desert mountains of its native region.


Bacanora carries a protected designation of origin rooted in Sonora, Mexico, where generations of skilled distillers have coaxed extraordinary flavor from the native Agave pacifica plant using traditional open-pit roasting and small-batch copper pot distillation. Aguamiel honors this heritage with a blanco expression that captures the raw, unaged character of the spirit at its most authentic.


  • Nose: Fresh roasted agave with earthy desert minerality, hints of citrus zest, and a clean herbal lift that speaks to the wild highland terroir
  • Palate: Smooth and medium-bodied with flavors of roasted agave, green herbs, light smoke, and a gentle sweetness reminiscent of its namesake aguamiel, the sweet agave nectar
  • Finish: Warm, lingering, and pleasantly dry with a subtle peppery note and the unmistakable mineral backbone of Sonoran agave

Aguamiel Bacanora Blanco shines when sipped neat, allowing its distinctive terroir-driven character to take center stage, but it also brings a compelling depth to cocktails like a Bacanora Paloma or a simple highball with fresh lime and sparkling water.


Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its complexity. Aguamiel Bacanora Blanco is produced from Agave pacifica and originates from the protected Bacanora region of Sonora, Mexico.

Aguamiel is an artisanal bacanora from Suaqui Grande, Sonora, made from 100% Agave Yaquiana. Bacanora can only be made in 35 municipalities of Sonora, under a denomination of origin granted in 2000. Its production was outlawed in the state from 1915 until 1992, and the Agave Prohibido Brands team behind Aguamiel has spent a decade bringing this northern spirit back to the table. The Blanco is bottled at 41% ABV and opens with soft smoke and a light hint of mesquite wood. It took a Double Gold medal at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
