Raicilla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raicilla is a distilled spirit, originating in the south western portion of the Mexican state of Jalisco, which is similar to Tequila and Mezcal as it is also a product of the agave plant.[1]

Traditionally raicilla has been created and sold as a "moonshine" product without government sanction or approval.[2] Recently a company has begun to market a variety of legal brands of raicilla.
