An Ancestral
Artisanal Spirit
No shortcuts. Pure as the mountains, bold as Brava. Every drop of Brava Raicilla follows a path of decades of artisanal knowledge in the Sierra de Mascota, resulting in a unique spirit that honors its Jalisciense origin.
Wild Harvest (Jima)
We hand-harvest wild maximiliana agave from the Sierra de Mascota after 7–10 years of natural maturation. Our sustainable planting program ensures the future of this wild agave distillate.
Ancestral Masonry Oven
The agave hearts (piñas) are slow-cooked in traditional masonry ovens. This slow process imparts the subtle, balanced smoky character that defines this Jalisco craft spirit.
Natural Fermentation
100% natural fermentation using only wild airborne yeasts. Time and nature work in harmony to preserve the unique herbal identity of the wild agave.
Artisanal Distillation
Double distillation in stainless steel stills. Unlike other spirits, we add no water after distillation, maintaining the original purity and 42% ABV strength.
6-Month Maturation
Rested in stainless steel for 6 months to achieve a silky texture while keeping the vibrant herbal profile intact. A true expression of the Mascota highlands.
