La Venenosa Amula 15 Year Anniversary

The XV Anniversary Collection from La Venenosa honors the Maestros behind each expression. This limited heritage series introduces new labels that place the producers at the forefront, honoring their hands, their time, and their wisdom.

This unique expression is produced in the town of Las Canoas sitting 700 meters above sea level. The area boasts at least 13 different varieties of angustifolia and rhodacantha. The semi warm microclimate allows for a longer fermentation process adding to the mineral rich flavor profile. Tree Trunk Distillation and Tepetate Fermentation brings notes of mineral, wet grass and cooked agave. This is the very first expression coming from Ricardo Juárez and it doesn't disappoint!
