{"product_id":"aguamiel-bacanora-blanco","title":"Aguamiel Bacanora Blanco","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAguamiel Bacanora Blanco is a bacanora agave spirit produced in Sonora, Mexico — a legally protected denomination of origin that distinguishes it from both tequila and mezcal, made from wild Pacifica agave (Agave pacifica) native to Sonora's Yaqui Valley using traditional production methods that produce the earthy, smoky, anise, and mesquite character specific to Sonoran agave spirits.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBacanora has a complex legal history — it was prohibited in Mexico from 1915 to 1992, which is why it remains a relatively obscure category despite centuries of production in Sonora. The denomination of origin was officially established in 2000, restricting production to 35 municipalities in Sonora. Agave pacifica grows wild in the rugged Sonoran landscape rather than being cultivated like the Blue Weber agave used for tequila — the wild growth and the region's volcanic soil contribute the earthy, mesquite-smoked character that distinguishes bacanora from the more polished expressions of other agave categories. Aguamiel (honey water in Spanish) references the sweet agave sap, reflecting the brand's connection to traditional production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthy and smoky — mesquite wood smoke with soft anise and wild agave character\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liquorice, grassy agave, caramel, and wood spice — the Sonoran terroir evident in every note\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean and warm with lingering earth and light smoke\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aguamiel, Sonora, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bacanora — Sonora Denomination of Origin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild Agave pacifica\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 41% (82 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003eagave spirits at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is bacanora and how is it different from mezcal and tequila?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Bacanora is a legally protected agave spirit denomination restricted to 35 municipalities in Sonora, Mexico.
