La Venenosa Tutsi Masparillo

Tutsi is the sacred agave spirit of the Wixárika people, indigenous communities from Northwest Jalisco globally renowned for their intricate chaquira (beadwork) and their ancestral distillation traditions.

This exceptional spirit, crafted by Don Rafael, is made from wild-foraged maguey masparillo. It undergoes a single distillation inside a hollowed-out tree trunk—a unique technique found nowhere else on earth, which has officially given this historic apparatus the name of the Wixárika distiller.

Most batches are less than 80 liters.
