La Venenosa Volcanes

The Sierra Volcanes region of southern Jalisco is home to the oldest known traditions of distillation in Mexico. Maestro Arturo Campos uses clay pot stills, stone pit fermenters, and Maguey Cenizo Gigante to deliver a curiosity driving sensory experience. Think cotija cheese, pomegranate, stewed plum and butterscotch!
