The Bacanora is an ancestral drink that is part of the ¬ Sonoran culture at all social levels, a mezcal by definition, obtained from the agaves that grow locally. This distilled drink, adopts its name from the municipality of Bacanora where it is believed, began the production of this spirit. Its production, nowadays, extends for great part of the state of Sonora mainly in the Serrana regions, its consumption is so ingrained to the society that it has been possible to maintain even after having been prohibited and persecuted by the go – vernment in times of Plutarco Elias Calles who was governor of the state of Sonora and later president of Mexico. The bacanora obtained in 1994 the recog – nition as denomination of origin.
