The Story of Bacanora de Barranco

This is the first bacanora in the Skurnik portfolio. The agave is cooked in a cylindrical earthen pit oven, milled with a small mechanical grinder and fermented in holes dug into the ground with well water. The practice dates to at least the 16th century and was used to hide fermentation from authorities. It is distilled twice in a hybrid copper and steel pot still. Bacanora has its own appellation, not yet recognized by the US government.
