Raicilla De Manuel Salcedo Mascota Jalisco Maguey Alto 70cl - Vecindad

A raicilla with frank, authentic notes, produced in Mascota, Jalisco, from tall maguey plants. On the nose it opens with herbaceous and floral hints, a subtle smokiness that doesn't mask the agave, and a touch of green citrus that brings liveliness. The structure is lean but present: balanced acidity, a savory quality that supports the sip, and a light rusticity that adds character without being intrusive.

On the palate it reveals a pleasant progression, warm but controlled, with a medium body that gives way to notes of field herbs, orange zest and earthy hints. The finish is dry and persistent, ideal for those who appreciate spirits with a strong sense of place. Served at room temperature or slightly chilled, it can be enjoyed neat or used sparingly in cocktails that require depth; it pairs well with simple, flavorful dishes such as grilled fish, white-meat tacos or fresh cheeses.
