Quechol Sotol Texanum 750mL

Quechol Sotol Texanum is a small-batch Mexican sotol made from wild Texanum Dasylirion harvested in the Chihuahuan Desert of Durango, bottled at 92.6 proof.

Sotol is a distilled spirit made from the Dasylirion plant, not agave. Quechol is produced by sotoleros using time-honored traditions passed down through generations. The Texanum plants average roughly 15 years to mature, with large piñas weighing 110–130 lbs at harvest; they are roasted for three days in a volcanic-rock pit oven over mezquite, then shredded and distilled in copper pots. The distillery runs on solar power, is built from production byproducts, and plants a sprout for every bottle produced.

Tasting Notes

Exotic succulent aromas and spearmint leading to roasted nuts, ancho chile, and cooked caramel; mild and round on the palate with juicy black licorice and subtle vegetal notes.
