Flor del Desierto

Funky, naughty spirit from the deserts

Sotol is not distilled from agave, but from the Sotol plant or desert spoon. There are numerous sotol varietals like Dasylirion wheeleri, Asparagaceae, plants that grow wild throughout the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico.

The sotol plant is native to Sonoran and Chihuahuan high desert climates and has since ancient times been a vital plant as a source of food and fibres. Sotol shares characteristic similarities to its cousins in spirit, Tequila, Mezcal, Bacanora and Raicilla.

Overall tasting profile
