Bacanora is a traditional Mexican spirit made from the agave plant, specifically the Agave angustifolia species. It originates from the region of Sonora, Mexico, where it has been produced for centuries. Bacanora is similar to tequila and mezcal, but it has its own unique flavor profile, often described as earthy and smoky. The production of Bacanora involves harvesting the agave, cooking the hearts, and fermenting the resulting sugars. After fermentation, the liquid is distilled, resulting in a clear spirit. Bacanora has gained recognition in recent years, both in Mexico and internationally, for its artisanal qualities and distinct taste.
