a distillery here,in guadalajara, that since it is NOT located in the official tequila growing processing states, it cannot market its tequila as tequila, but rather "distillation of maggei" (the actual cactus) and is looking for a market in the US.. Since the official tequila is reaching sky high prices, perhaps there is a market for somthing that is 90% the same tequila but 50% less. Also instead of 38% alcohol, by law is 34.5%
let me know if you know anyone

I have a peek-um up truck and would be glad to go down there as I need about a years supply (about 100 gallons) to satisfy my thirst.
So it's not tequila and it's not mescal, and it's not raicilla?
See:
I have to say, I really liked the raicilla I had, but it wasn't any wimpy 34.5% alcohol. It was more like 70-80% alcohol. Very interesting stuff.

Is this the place to handle such business?
Do you think it is polite to push your own narrow commercial interests online in fornt of hundreds of readers that are not at all concerned?
Is this allowed according to the charter of AFW?

Actually, raicilla, according to the links you posted, is 72-80 PROOF, which means it is 36-40% alcohol. So not much different there. The stuff our Guatemalan friend is hawking would be 69 proof, if it's
34.5% alcohol. Hehehe...69 proof...Gimme a steam> > a distillery here,in guadalajara, that since it is NOT located in the
Actually, no. Quoting from the second link, describing raicilla as it is normally found:
The raicilla I had, based on the observed Marangoni effect and the intensity of the intoxication, was around 150-160 proof, which is 75 to 80 percent alcohol.
The first link describes a *legitimate* version of raicilla made under government license. That's the exception, and I suspect it's not considered "real" by true raicilla drinkers. In fact, it's probably like white zinfandel as far as the Puerto Vallarta locals see it.

A certain exquisite, long-term irony attends a newsgroup that got separated from its history and past postings as a broader drinks newsgroup, in such a manner as even to isolate it from its eventual sibling drinks newsgroups, all to protect the delicate ears of a few sensitive wine drinkers (who did not even hang around anyway), against postings about other drinks, then 10 years later finding itself getting postings about other drinks.
But to the subject of this thread. It does remind me of those deals you can find in the South-Eastern US where "artisan" distilled spirits, some of them VERY good to the taste (or so I understand), are sold in unlabeled wide-mouth "Mason" jars, from the back of a vehicle, always by someone wearing wrap-around sunglasses and without a lot of patience. Credit cards not accepted. Or so I hear, anyway.
Your health! -- Max
