Sotoleros Lupe Lot 1 Sotol

Carne Pechuga Sotol (venison) the entire batch is 14 cases and a California exclusive. Distilled with venison, orange, anis.  This gives standard heavy potted soil that I always get from Lupe Lopez but then there is an oily salty gaminess (I call it heaven :P) Its a very viscus spirit as well. Lupe Lopez from Ciudad Madera, Chihuahua. This is a pretty dangerous area under cartel control. His mentor was Bienvanido another sotolero producer. He has some of the smallest batches of production I have ever seen, sometimes as low as 40 bottles in a batch. Robert Horton, Importer

A new brand from the infamous co-founder of Clande Sotol, Sotoleros spotlights small regional distillers at viñatas across Chihuahua. Sourcing microbatch distillates of both sotol (Dasylirion) and lechuguilla (Agave) as well as the occasional blend of both – an otherwise lost tradition rarely seen within the commercial category – Sotoleros helps producers to maintain traditional production techniques on an intensely small scale, with releases rarely exceeding 70 bottles. 44% ABV

Sotol is a distillate made from a type of shrub, Dasylirion wheeleri, more commonly called desert spoon.
