La Venenosa Blanca
Blanca ensemble at ~48% – amarillo and chico aguiar, the costa in its full register
Score: 4.0/5 agaves
- Producer: La Venenosa
- Region: Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco
- Agave: Amarillo, Chico Aguiar
- ABV: 48%
- Price: $40–90 ($$)
Verdict
La Venenosa Blanca is a mature ensamble statement – Esteban Morales blends the two coastal agaves into something that neither delivers alone. 48% is the right proof for the format, and the coastal signature is legible throughout. Track it next to the Raicilla Costa for the single-variant comparison. The community lands at 4.0 and we see no reason to move it.
Blanca is La Venenosa thinking out loud about what the costa sounds like
Tasting notes
Nose: Tropical fruit, green herb, mineral damp
Palate: Layered and structured at 48%. Amarillo brings the tropical-sweet midpalate; chico aguiar anchors it with the drier, more austere coastal character. The ensamble reads intentional
Finish: Tropical-river rock, cool close. Stays long
The bottom line
What neither agave delivers alone. Coastal raicilla ensamble at correct proof
