BACANORA? What is it ?
Bacanora is a distillate originating from the state of Sonora, Mexico.
It is made from the cooking, fermentation and distillation of agave, just like tequila, mezcal and raicilla;
These four alcoholic drinks are protected by designations of origin.
Bacanora is obtained from the Angustifolia Haw agave or popularly also known as espadín or yaquiana agave (Agave vivipara). It is generally a colorless drink with a high alcohol content, varying between 38% and 55% in alcohol volume.
It was considered “illegal” for a period of 77 years.
It did not have permission or support from the state or national government for its production, until in 1992 a series of regulations were issued to be able to develop this production again.
