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. Consensus 4.0; we agree.
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
Buy. Single-maestro lineño at correct proof
