Bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof) in a 750mL bottle, it is a traditional Mexican spirit almost never seen on American shelves.

Because fresh pulque spoils within days, it almost never travels; distilling it, as the Los Rurales line does, captures that fleeting flavor in a stable, bottle-strength spirit.
