| Join us on Tuesday, April 5, 6:30 – 8:30 pm at Norfolk Wine & Spirits for a Mezcal & Raicilla Tasting with Founder Arik Torren.
Arik started his career in the restaurant business over 25 years ago. In 2009, Arik launched Fidencio Mezcal. His passion for educating and telling stories were the perfect complement to present Fidencio and grow the category of Mezcal. In 2014, Arik launched Raicilla La Venenosa. Until now, these remarkable spirits were hidden to the outside world. With the launch of the brand La Venenosa, he also launched the spirits category of Raicilla and Tutsi to the United States.
In 2015, Fidencio Spirits launched Mezcal Derrumbes. 2017 brought us Bacanora Rancho Tepúa and Mezcal Del Amigo. In 2018, Arrik launched Sotol La Higuera and in 2021 the Tequila Mi Casa. The portfolio currently has 36 expressions with 16 different Maestros, 26 unique varieties of agave and sotol coming from 11 different states in Mexico, clearly telling a story and sharing a passion.
While tequila overshadows Mexican spirits at large, there are many unique, traditional spirits from every corner this vast, tropical country. Whether it’s Mezcal from the highland forests, Raicilla from the sandy coasts, or Sotol from dry desert lands, Mexican spirits are beautiful examples of terroir. The flavors expressed are as unique and individual as the locales they originate.
