Sumario: | The book La Raicilla. Herencia y Patrimonio Cultural de Jalisco is structured in five chapters, in addition to an introductory prologue, each of which explores distinct historical, cultural, technical, and economic aspects of this emblematic beverage from Jalisco. The organization of the text reflects a multidisciplinary approach aiming at providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the raicilla phenomenon, often referred to as mezcal from Jalisco. From its historical origins to technical analyses, each section contributes to a holistic narrative that positions raicilla, an agave-based distillate, as both a cultural and economic symbol of the state. This balance between analytical depth and accessibility positions the book as a valuable reference for scholars, professionals in the agave and spirits industry, and policymakers involved in the regulation of this sector
