Flor del Desierto Sotol Sierra

Batch AA20. From the high mountains, is a more lifted and pretty Sotol versus lower elevations. In the nose this shows mineral, dusty stone fruits, a bit of citrus and clay. On the palate clay minerality, pepper, savory spices, citrus, and dusty stone fruits predominate. D&M Tasting Notes

Produced by Master Sotelier, José “Chito” Fernandez Flores, from 100% wild-harvest Dasylirion wheeleri that matured for 18–22 years in the forests of the Madera Mountains in Chihuahua. The plants are cooked in shallow pits fueled by willow and oak, shredded by axe and knife, then fermented in open-air fermentation tanks made of pine. The fermented sotol is distilled twice using traditional copper pot stills. Sotol Sierra has an aroma of pine needles and sap resin, eucalyptus, and wet river rocks. The palate exhibits white pepper, citrus, green herbs, fresh lawn clippings and significant minerality. 48% ABV. Importer Notes
