Meet Sortillón Bacanora — the newest product to join the Agave Jalisco portfolio. 🌵

If you haven’t heard of bacanora, you’re not alone — it was actually banned in Mexico until 1992. Made exclusively in Sonora from wild Agave pacifica, it’s one of the most distinct and least-known spirits in the agave world.

We’re proud to bring Sortillón to the US, starting right here in Arizona. More to come soon.

While the spirits world fixates on tequila and mezcal, a quieter revolution is happening in Sonora.🌵Bacanora—made from agave pacífica—is gaining serious attention. As it should.

Herbaceous, mineral-forward, subtly smoky—some consider it tequila's rebellious cousin since it was illegal in Mexico until 1992. And we carry three top brands: Sunora Bacanora, Capital Bacanora, and Danzari. 🌟

DM us to discuss distribution and where you can find the best that Sonora has to offer.

That distinctive smokiness in your mezcal? It starts underground. 🔥 Pit-roasting is a centuries-old tradition that defines the category. Here's how it works

✅Heating (10–12 hours)
Hardwoods (mesquite, oak, or pine) are stacked at the bottom
Stones are placed over the fire
Fire burns until stones glow red or white-hot

✅Loading the Agave
Agave fibers or leaves are layered over hot stones to prevent scorching
Trimmed agave hearts (piñas), often 40+ kg each, are stacked on top
Careful arrangement ensures even heat distribution

✅Sealing
Covered with wet agave fiber, mats, tarps, or banana leaves
Buried with earth or stones to create a sealed, low-oxygen chamber

✅Roasting (3–7 days)
Duration varies by producer, climate, and pit depth
Slow heat converts starches to fermentable sugars
Smoke infuses the agave with mezcal's signature smoky, earthy flavor

✅Cooling (12–24 hours)
Pit is opened and blackened piñas cool overnight
Roasted agave is crushed (often with a tahona mill)

✅Fermented with wild yeasts and distilled in copper or clay stills
