Tasting note

The Sotol plant or Dasylirion comes from a compound of the Greek words for “dense” and “lily”. This evergreen plant grows in the deserts and is used in the northern states of Mexico to produce a distilled beverage known as Sotol. There are around twenty species of plants used to make Sotol with Wheeleri being the most ubiquitous. Wheeleri is also the local varietal near to Gerardo Ruelas’ distillery near the town of Aldama and produces a spirit with an earthy,vegetal character but with a rounded sweetness on the palate.

Producer

La Higuera Sotol

Sotol La Higuera is traditionally crafted in Aldama, Chihuahua by Master Sotolero Gerardo Ruelas. Dasylirion plants are roasted in a wood-fired conical oven, then hand-milled with axes. Fermentation occurs with wild yeast in 1,000-liter pine vats. The spirit is double distilled in copper alembic stills, preserving the unique character of each varietal.
