La Venenosa Sierra del Tigre (Orange Label)
Distiller Score 92
A very different experience all around with the nose bringing aromas such as aged gouda, orange, mango, herbs, “barnyard” notes, and agave pulp. It is completely different on the palate. Tons of lush ripe fruit notes such as papaya, passion fruit, ripe mango, and tangerine flood your senses before those barnyard aromas come back with dashes of cocoa and black pepper. Rich and beautifully textured it is arguably the most compelling and definitely the most approachable member of the Venenosa line up.

La Venenosa Sur Raicilla (Red Label)
Distiller Score 83
The gloves are off for this spirit. Unapologetically earthy, herbal and funky this spirit will be an experience for even seasoned agave drinkers. Batch variation is high but to give you an idea, the nose is filled with such notes as: pine, musk, fresh herbs, hotdog water, moist soil, minerals, orange zest, aged cheese, and fresh lime on the finish. The palate is no less eccentric with notes of Smarties candy, pineapple, stewed apples, nuts, root veggies, cream, and ash. A fascinating spirit for adventurous palates.
