Don Macario Partida, a master distiller of Zapotitlan de Vadillo, created La Venenosa Raicilla Sur using a type of Agave angustifolia known locally as Lineño. After a seven year growth period, this variety of agave was harvested to form the original red label of La Venenosa. Historically, the Partida family is celebrated for their Chacolo brand; however, subsequent editions of the red label have been crafted by Arturo Campos. Produced at 1,200 metres above sea level, La Venenosa Raicilla Sur proves to be a remarkable spirit.
