La Venenosa Tabernas 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.

Brothers Benito & Jose Salcedo Rios blend Lechuguilla & Chico Aguiar cultivated on their family land to craft this beautiful and accessibly priced spirit. Above ground cooking and stainless steel distillation bring bright notes of orange peel and oregano with lemongrass, cinnamon spice and mineral on the palate.
