Sotol La Higuera Texanum is crafted by the Irigoyen family in the highlands of Chihuahua, Mexico, using wild-harvested Dasylirion texanum — the Texas sotol plant that thrives across the Chihuahuan Desert on both sides of the border. Known for its slightly sweeter and more approachable profile compared to other Dasylirion species, the texanum expression from La Higuera showcases the family's mastery of traditional pit roasting and copper pot distillation.
Tasting Notes

Palate: Smooth and medium-bodied with roasted sotol sweetness, green apple, citrus zest, and a subtle earthy vegetal quality.
Finish: Clean and medium-length with a soft herbal fade and a refreshing dry mineral close.
