Bacanora

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bacanora is an agave-derived liquor made in Sonora, Mexico. Its origins are pre-colonial.

The distillation of Bacanora was illegal until 1992, being bootlegged by vinateros for many generations. Since 2000 Bacanora has been issued with an origin denomination bill by the Mexican government. This means that only mezcal produced by the agave variety grown in the municipalities of Bacanora, Sahuaripa, Arivechi, Soyopa, San Javier, Cumpas, Moctezuma, San Pedro de la Cueva, Tepache, Divisaderos, Granados, Huásabas, Villa Hidalgo, Bacadéhuachi, Nácori Chico, Huachinera, Villa Pesqueira, Aconchi, San Felipe de Jesús, Huépac, Banámichi, Rayón, Baviácora, Opodepe, Arizpe, Rosario, Mexico, Quiriego, Suaqui Grande, Ónavas, Yécora, Álamos, San Miguel de Horcasitas, Ures, Mazatán, and La Colorada can legally be called Bacanora.
