El Acabo Plata Raicilla is a rare and captivating expression of Jalisco's wild agave tradition, offering a spirit that bridges rustic heritage with refined elegance. Translucent with sparkling highlights, this plata raicilla is a compelling introduction to one of Mexico's most storied yet underexplored spirit categories.


Raicilla is a traditional agave distillate produced in select regions of Jalisco, and El Acabo honors that legacy with a production style that highlights the cooked agave essence at the spirit's core. This plata expression is unaged, allowing the pure character of the distillate to shine without the influence of wood, delivering a smooth and fruity profile that distinguishes raicilla from its more widely known agave cousins.


  • Nose: Smooth and inviting, with fresh fruit and subtle citrus alongside delicate herbal notes and a gentle kiss of smoke that speaks to its cooked agave origins.
  • Palate: Silky and refined on the palate, the fruity character carries through with layered herbal complexity and a soft smokiness that deepens with each sip.
  • Finish: Clean and lingering, with the cooked agave essence rounding out a finish that is both satisfying and memorable.

El Acabo Plata Raicilla shines in a Paloma, where its citrus and herbal notes complement grapefruit beautifully, and works equally well in a simple Raicilla Highball with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime to let the spirit's natural character take center stage.


Best enjoyed neat or with a single ice cube to open up its aromatics. El Acabo Plata Raicilla is crafted from agave in the Jalisco region of Mexico, a true expression of the diversity and depth that agave spirits have to offer.

Location: Atenguillo, Jalisco
Distiller icon
Distillery: Taberna Tres Gallos
El Acabo is made by Taberna Tres Gallos at the Hacienda de Ahuacatepec, a 350-year-old estate in Atenguillo, in the mountains of western Jalisco. Brothers Álvaro, Bernardo and Alejandro Fernández Labastida founded the distillery to share their region's raicilla. They grow Maximiliana agave from seed in their own nursery, cook the piñas for about three days, and distill twice. The name honors the celebration once held at the hacienda when the harvest ended. The team burns only firewood from dead trees and keeps a sanctuary for the Mexican burro.
