A regional niche outside the D.O. but within the historic mezcal category, raicilla is produced primarily in the western Mexican state of Jalisco in micro-distilleries called tabernas, which are owned by families or communities.

Las Perlas is distilled at Hacienda El Divisadero by 5th generation raicilleros, the Daz Rubio and Daz Ramos families. The taberna is located near the village of Las Gusimas, about 30 minutes north of El Tuito, the largest town in the Cabo Corrientes municipality.
