Mazot Bacanora Uvalama is a very limited release from Sonora, Mexico, with only about 1,000 liters of total production per year.
About this bacanora
Mazot Bacanora Uvalama made using maguey Pacifica (agave Angustifolia). Uvalama is a traditional flavoring of Bacanora, but it can be difficult to find. Uvalama is a wild tree fruit that is small, black, and grape-sized with a pit like an olive. It has a sweet/sour taste that adds a funky complimentary complexity to Bacanora. Uvalama also has medicinal properties as outlined in both folklore and science literature. It can reportedly serve as an anti-inflammatory, ant-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic. It’s no wonder Sonorans drink Bacanora for their health!

542 reviewsNose: Eucalyptus. An interesting, subtle mix of dark chocolate and wild raspberry. Somewhat dusty.
Palate: Cool, amber coloring. Very medicinal. Long finish with a bit of a prune juice sweetness. Aftertaste of herbal tea. I’ll probably love this when I’m 90.
