Raicilla undergoes a double distillation on wooden stills carved from the sacred Oyamel tree, introducing more nuanced flavors to the spirit.The star of the distillation process, however, is the rare and exotic Bonete tree trunk (Jacaratia Mexicana), native only to Mexico’s Pacific coast. The use of this tree trunk during the distillation introduces a unique flavor profile that remains unparalleled by modern, high-efficiency stills. Despite the Bonete’s low yield and short lifespan, producers in Jalisco are incredibly proud to continue this ancient practice, viewing it as essential to upholding their cultural heritage.
