Sotol
70cl * 38% ABV * Raicilla & Sotol, Mexico
Sotol, like Tequila, is a kind of mezcal, but the similarity ends there. Produced in northern Mexico, the sotol plant known as the 'desert spoon', this centuries-old drink has been made by the Anazasis and Tarahumara tribes for more than 800 years. Today, Hacienda de Chihuahua extracts the sotol plant from nature, preserving its organic and natural character creating an extremely smooth and fresh, authentic flavour.A 100% wild-harvested Sotol, Hacienda de Chihuahua was awarded Bronze at the 2006 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
“Extremely smooth and fresh, this award-winning distillate offers the great taste of the Sotol plant and the complexity that makes it different from any other beverage of its kind. The bouquet is pleasant similar to mint and vegetable. The first impression on the palate is clean and focused; the mid-palate shows a touch of delicate sweetness from the Sotol plant." – Wine Enthusiast
