Balam Raicilla Madurado Mezcal

Aged Raicilla | Oak-Matured | Smoky-Sweet & Herbal Depth

Available now at Liquor Boutique

Balam Raicilla Madurado is crafted from wild Jabalí agave in the Sierra Madre Occidental. Following traditional roasting in earthen pits, the agave is naturally fermented and double-distilled in copper stills. Unique to this expression, the clear raicilla is then rested for 6–12 months in charred American oak barrels, creating a lush, mellow spirit that bridges raicilla’s wild roots with mezcal-like sophistication. Bottled at ~40% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Light amber with warm golden hues

• Nose: Toasted oak, honeyed agave, baked orchard fruit, subtle vanilla, and light smoke

• Palate: Smooth agave base layered with caramel, dark honey, dried apricot, gentle herbs (mint, thyme), and a whisper of smoke

• Finish: Long and rounded—oak sweetness, soft smoke, and herbal notes mingle with a mineral backbone
