La Reina Raicilla Reposado offers a rare window into one of Mexico's most storied and underexplored agave spirit traditions, aged to coax warmth and depth from its wild agave roots. This is a spirit for those who seek something beyond the familiar, a reposado expression that honors craft as much as character.


Raicilla is a regional agave distillate with deep roots in the rugged terrain of Jalisco, traditionally produced from wild agave varieties that lend the spirit its untamed, expressive personality. The reposado designation means La Reina has spent time resting in oak, softening the spirit's wild edges while preserving the earthy, herbal complexity that defines authentic raicilla.


  • Nose: Expect the hallmark rustic character of raicilla alongside hints of oak, dried herbs, and subtle earthiness developed through the resting period.
  • Palate: A layered experience of wild agave, gentle wood spice, and savory notes that reflect both the spirit's origins and its time in barrel.
  • Finish: Warm and lingering, with the agave's natural character carrying through alongside a soft oakiness that rounds out the finish.

La Reina Raicilla Reposado shines in a Paloma variation or a simple Raicilla Sour, where its earthy complexity and gentle barrel notes can lift the cocktail without overpowering it.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the spirit open up fully. La Reina Raicilla Reposado is crafted from agave native to the Jalisco highlands, making it a distinctive and collectible addition to any agave spirits shelf.

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.
