The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
La Reina de Atenguillo Raicilla Ancestral de la Sierra is a traditional agave spirit crafted in the mountains of Jalisco, Mexico, using ancestral distillation methods passed down through generations. Raicilla is often called agave's best-kept secret, predating both tequila and mezcal in the region's distilling history, and this bottling honors that heritage.
Expect an earthy, smoky nose typical of ancestrally distilled agave spirits, with a palate that balances vegetal agave character against rustic, wood-fired complexity. The finish carries lingering minerality and a warm, spirited close characteristic of small-batch, artisanal production.
Sip it neat in a small copal glass to appreciate its rustic character, or use it as the base for an elevated agave cocktail in place of mezcal. It pairs naturally with grilled meats, citrus-forward ceviche, or a simple sprinkle of salt and orange.
For agave spirit enthusiasts looking to explore beyond tequila and mezcal, this ancestral raicilla offers an authentic taste of Jalisco's distilling roots. Shop La Reina Ancestral Raicilla online at Habits Bottle Shop and discover one of Mexico's most storied agave spirits.
