Raw, wild, and rooted in the mountains of Jalisco, La Reina Raicilla Blanco is a rare expression of Mexico's most adventurous agave spirit tradition. Raicilla occupies its own spirited category, distinct from tequila and mezcal, and La Reina captures that untamed character beautifully.


Raicilla is a traditional Mexican spirit with deep roots in the coastal and highland regions of Jalisco, crafted from wild and cultivated agave varieties that thrive in rugged terrain. La Reina Raicilla Blanco is bottled unaged, preserving the pure, expressive flavors that come straight from the distillation process, honoring the centuries-old craft of raicilla production.


  • Nose: Fresh and herbal with wild agave character, floral notes, and a hint of tropical fruit
  • Palate: Bright and vegetal with layers of citrus, earthy minerality, and a gentle spice that speaks to the spirit's highland origins
  • Finish: Clean and lingering, with a pleasant herbal warmth that invites the next sip

La Reina Raicilla Blanco shines in a Raicilla Paloma, where its bright citrus and herbal notes pair beautifully with grapefruit soda, or try it in a classic Ranch Water for a refreshing, spirit-forward serve that lets its wild agave personality lead.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to fully appreciate its complexity. La Reina Raicilla Blanco is an unaged agave spirit from the raicilla-producing tradition of Jalisco, Mexico, and a must-explore for any agave enthusiast looking beyond tequila and mezcal.

La Reina is a raicilla de la sierra from Atenguillo, a town 1,655 meters up in the Sierra Madre Occidental of Jalisco. It is made mainly from agave maximiliana, a wild species that grows only from seed, so the team raises seedlings in its own nursery and replants them. Local rules allow only 10 percent of the region's agave to be harvested, and each plant rests about two more years after its quiote is cut to build sugar. The agave is roasted in an oven preheated for six hours, crushed by hand with wooden mallets in hollowed tree trunks and fermented open-air in oak barrels for seven days.
