Sotol La Higuera Wheeleri is a rare expression of Chihuahuan Desert terroir, crafted by the Irigoyen family in the rugged highlands of Chihuahua, Mexico. Distilled from wild-harvested Dasylirion wheeleri — the Wheeler sotol plant — this spirit captures the raw, mineral-driven character of one of Mexico's most ancient distilling traditions. Each plant takes 15 or more years to mature before harvest, making every bottle a testament to patience and place.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh desert herbs, green olive brine, and wet stone with a whisper of white pepper and dried wildflowers.
Palate: Bright and vegetal with roasted agave-like earthiness, citrus zest, pine resin, and a subtle smoky minerality.
Finish: Long and dry with lingering herbal bitterness, chalky earth, and a clean, cooling finish.
