La Venenosa Etnica Tutsi

Raicilla has been made in Mexico for over 500 years and pre-dates the pre-hispanic era. In its early forms, it would have been classed as agave distilled spirit, akin to Mezcal. With its recent Denomination of Origin Protection in 2019, Raicilla as a stand-alone category is booming. La Venenosa Raicilla is the OG brand when it comes to Raicilla. The brand was created in 2011 by chef and Maestro Esteban Morales to bring these hidden Raicilla gems to the global market. In this ancestral expression of La Venenosa, Etnica Tutsi is reserved, rare and extremely limited. This agave spirit is from the Huichol people in northwest Jalisco and is typically only consumed during Wixarika ceremonies. For the Wixarikas the Tutsi is not just a drink, it is an entity that gives life. Don Rafael is the last known Wixarika distiller. A rare collector’s item from 500-year-old distillation and production methods.
