Sotol Coyote Chihuahua

Sotol Coyote Chihuahua is distilled from Dasylirion leiophyllum, a woodland and grassland desert spoon native to Chihuahua. Sotol is not a mezcal and not an agave spirit, it comes from a separate desert plant entirely, and the Clan Coyote project led by maestro sotolero Gerardo Ruelas works only wild leiophyllum of twelve to fifteen years.

The hearts are roasted in a conical stone oven fired with mesquite, crushed with stones, fermented in oak vats on well water, then double distilled in copper. The mesquite roast gives it real smoky elements alongside herbal and mineral notes, and despite a strong 50 percent it lands soft and naturally sweet on the palate. Its limestone and grassland ground reads through in the savoury, herbaceous edge.
