Cielo Rojo Bacanora Blanco Tequila

Cielo Rojo Bacanora Blanco is a rare sublime wild Silvestre Maguey Agave spirit made in limited small batches on the rustic family ranchero just as it was prepared four centuries ago in Northern Sonora Mexico. The wild Agaves are harvested after labor-intensive foraging in steep canyons in the Sierra Madres and then packed out by burro at the Roberto Contreras 25 000 acre racho Tepua. The wild Agaves are roasted in traditional clay and rock earthen ovens in the ground and then given a careful unusually long fermentation marrying wild yeasts with nuances of select Agave juices. The resulting spirit is then double distilled in very small copper pot stills (alembicas) with a slow distillation ensuring herbaceous aromas. 42% ABV Illegal from 1915 to 1992 in Mexico and the USA Bacanora has a wonderful back-story: the undiscovered 3rd sister of the trinity: mezcal tequila and bacanora. Cielo Rojo is the first premium bacanora (effective Feb. 2011) to be imported into the USA
