Product Description
Estancia’s Master Distiller, Aussie Rio Chenery, left La Estancia De Landeros in search of the best Pulque distillate. During this search, he crossed paths with Maestro Rodolfo de Razo, highly regarded as the Master of Pulquero, from the region of Tlaxcala. Master Rodolfo can be found working away in the small town of Rancho San Isidro, smack bang in the middle of Mexico City and the state of Puebla. The fresh minty and menthol notes fill your airways whilst hints of spice and liquorice coat the mouth.

How It's Made
Pulque in its natural fermented form is a milky white liquid that for centuries has been consumed for its health properties. It is almost like a sap style liquid produced by the agave when the head shoot of leaves are cut and the flesh is exposed. The plant bleeds its milky liquid and that is turned into the traditional Pulque. We take that fermented sap and double-distill it to make a very unique crystaline distillate.
We have partnered with Don Rodolfo to continue our sustainability ethos and take his remaining agave hearts and apply double distillation to produce a delicious 46% distillate. Batch sizes are limited to 500 Liters runs, fermentation occurs in fibreglass. Stills are copper pot and the agave is the huge Salmiana-Menso. We are proud to be part of the Aussie owners collective that exports this brand worldwide and share’s it with you here in Australia.

If you like the Raicilla by this distiller, this Pulque is next level. Strangely underwhelming by itself, in an Old Fashioned it is absolutely delicious. If you are intrigued, take the plunge, you won’t regret it. Another awesome discovery on the journey of all things Mexico.
