Verdict
La Venenosa Raicilla Sur is Macario Partida's best release in the Venenosa catalog – lineño handled at 47% by a named maestro shows the brand at its most serious, and the southern Jalisco register reads clean throughout. Closest in the catalog to what Amula achieves at ensamble level. The 4.0 consensus needs no correction.
Raicilla Sur is lineño in full voice, single-maestro
Tasting notes
Nose: Green herb, stone, tropical touch
Palate: Dense and cleanly executed at 47%. Macario Partida's lineño has a mid-palate weight the Costa ensamble doesn't reach – single agave runs heavier here, and the 47% proof supports it fully
Finish: Mineral, cool, slow herbal fade. Long
The bottom line
Venenosa at its most serious. Single-maestro lineño at correct proof
