Sotol La Higuera Wheeleri

Sotol La Higuera is produced in Aldama, Chihuahua by Master Sotolero Gerardo Ruelas. The sotol plants are cooked in an outdoor conical oven and then milled by hand with axes. Sotol is made from the Dasylirion plant, a desert spoon. The Wheeleri has a rounded balance of smoke, herbs and fruit. The nose is more herbal, with hints of smoke. The palate shows more of the herbs with hints of pineapple.
