Flor del Desierto - Sotol - Desierto - 47%
Sotol is a distilled alcoholic beverage native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States, specifically the states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Durango. It is made from Wheeler's Dasylire (Desert Spoon) plant, also known as Sotol, which is part of the Asparagaceae family. Sotol has a long history in the region, with evidence of its consumption dating back over 800 years. It is often compared to other agave-based spirits such as Tequila and Mezcal, but its unique flavor and production methods set it apart.
The process of making Sotol involves harvesting the plant, roasting the heart of the plant (or piñas), then fermenting and distilling the resulting liquid.
