Casa Fierro Bacanora 42% ABV - 70cl

Bacanora is an agave-distilled spirit whose Denomination of Origin confines its production to the northwestern state of Sonora and requires 100% Agave Pacífica, a variety that grows in the mountains of the Sonoran Desert.

This singular origin gives bacanora its own character and sets it apart from other agave-distilled spirits such as tequila and mezcal.

TASTING NOTES

Casa Fierro Bacanora Blanco offers a smooth, lightly-smoked flavour with hints of chocolate, caramel and a herbal aftertaste. 

A TRUE EXPRESSION OF SONORA’S HERITAGE

Bacanora is THE Mexican agave-distilled spirit worth discovering! 

Casa Fierro Bacanora’s story is a paradox shaped by Sonora’s history.  In 1915, a decades-long prohibition on bacanora was imposed, and General García—great-grandfather to one of our founders—was responsible for enforcing the ban. Meanwhile, families across the region continued producing the spirit in secret, determined to protect their traditions.  

Generations later, that history has come full circle. Casa Fierro was founded in 2023 by two friends who wished to honor Sonora, its wild agaves, and the people who safeguarded bacanora through decades of uncertainty. Having once survived in silence, this spirit is now shared with pride. 

Casa Fierro is a tribute to resilience, friendship, and tradition that endured because it is worth preserving.

Given its Denomination of Origin, it is the only agave spirit made exclusively from Agave Pacífica (Angustifolia Haw), a variety that grows in the mineral-rich mountains of Sonora under the harsh desert sun, and is the only agave legally permitted for its production. This singular origin gives bacanora its own unique character, setting it apart from tequila and mezcal.

Its process mirrors that of other agave-distilled spirits—agave hearts are cooked, fermented and distilled—yet the exclusive agave variety creates a distinctive flavour profile: smoother than most mezcals with a gentle, smokey note. 

While Bacanora is not traditionally barrel-aged, its legal classification allows for four categories: 

Blanco (White/Silver) – Unaged like Casa Fierro Bacanora Blanco

Reposado (Rested) – Stored in barrels between three months and one year

Oro (Gold/Joven) – Blend of Bacanora Blanco and Reposado

Añejo (Aged) – Stored in barrels for more than a year
