Where the Sierra Keeps Its Secrets
Taberna Tres Gallos
High above the valleys, in a mountain village of barely 200 people, raicilla is still made the way it was meant to be.
High above the valleys, in a mountain village of barely 200 people, raicilla is still made the way it was meant to be.
The Labastida family didn’t just restore a 300-year-old estate they revived a way of life. Within its walls lives Taberna Tres Gallos, where raicilla has been quietly distilled long before global markets ever cared.
Wild Maximiliana
Grown from seed to preserve native genetics, harvested by hand after 8 years and transported by rescued donkeys across the Sierra terrain.
Three Days Over Firewood
Small-batch brick oven cooking for 72 hours, allowing subtle smoke and mountain character to infuse the agave naturally.
Mountain Water Extraction
Roller-milled and blended with crystal-clear spring water from the adjacent mountain stream.
Open-Air, Native Influence
Fermented in wood and steel without commercial yeast, absorbing the natural notes of zapote and guava trees surrounding the hacienda.
Slow Spirit 7 to 9 Hours
Fire-heated stainless steel stills run slowly to preserve essential oils, giving El Acabo its silky, fruit-forward body.
Real reviews from real customers
It was incredible to walk through a landscape covered in agave fields of different species, revealing a stunning range of colors, shapes, and sizes. The hacienda itself is a beautiful place.
Visiting Taberna 3 Gallos and exploring the story of raicilla made my trip unforgettable. But sipping El Acabo and Asil right where they’re made… that completely changed the experience.
Very satisfied with my purchase. The quality is excellent and it arrived quickly.
