For almost three centuries, in the state of Sonora in Mexico, Bacanora has been produced, a distillate of Pacifica agave, also called Yaquiana, which differs from other types of agave due to its propensity to colder weather and therefore to a cultivation mostly at high altitudes.
The production process is similar to that of the most classic artisan Mezcal, but every detail is secretly confided from father to son without a real universally recognized method. In 2000, the state of Mexico ordered a Controlled Denomination of Origin for the production of Bacanora, which can only be produced within the borders of the Sonora state.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
