AGUAMIEL – honey-water /ˈhənē wädər/
PROHIBITION [ˌprō(h)əˈbiSH(ə)n] by the intolerant Mexican Government banned the spirit, and severely punished anyone caught drinking or making it. Bacanora was banned for 77 years (1915 - 1992). Hidden from the public eye but refusing to disappear thereby becoming a clandestine activity, and with time a symbol of regionalism and identity.
Produced for over 300 years. Legalized just over a decade ago. Move aside Margarita here comes the better tasting Bacanorita…… Luscious, floral and a total new experience. A different feeling than tequila or mezcal. Crisp, energetic, rugged-pure and strongly loquacious-garrulous.
