Raicilla Ninfa is a Mexican artisanal spirit produced from Agave Maximilliana grown in the Sierra Madre Occidental. It is fermented in oak barrels and distilled with opposing stills. The result is a crystalline color, with a pure and elegant character, punctuated by vegetal and herbaceous notes

Raicilla Ninfa is a true specialty of the great tradition of Mexican distillates. It is a high-end label, reserved for the most refined and demanding palates, which has nothing in common with the classic versions of Tequila or Mezcal offered by the most famous commercial brands worldwide. It is an absolutely artisanal product, born in the Sierra Madre Occidental region, an area where the prized variety of Agave Maximilliana grows spontaneously. Only the best adult plants are used for the production of the distillate, ensuring an absolutely unique and unmistakable aromatic richness.

Ninfa Raicilla is an ancient Mexican distillate, whose origins date back to the 17th century. It is produced in various regions of the country. Its aromatic uniqueness and expressive finesse are due to the use of an excellent quality wild agave, mainly found in the areas of San Sebastián del Oeste, where local farmers have preserved the custom of cultivating it. The agaves are cut and processed only when they are mature. The famous piña, the heart of the plant, is first slowly cooked in old brick and earth ovens for about two days. This is followed by the fermentation phase, which takes place inside oak barrels. The precious agave juice is then distilled in a traditional copper still, which ensures remarkable expressive finesse, with particularly refined and delicate aromas.

Raicilla Ninfa is an elegant distillate that all enthusiasts of Mexican tradition should try at least once in their lifetime. It is considered by experts to be the most subtle and fascinating version of Spirits made with agave. Absolutely transparent and crystalline, it expresses a bouquet characterized by floral nuances, fragrances of lime peel and citrus, smoky hints, sweet and soft aromas of white-fleshed fruit, and light vegetal sensations of freshly cut agave. The entry on the palate is warm and seductive, soft and enveloping, with rich and intense aromas, leading to a fresh and persistent finish.
