Sotol La Higuera Texanum
Experience the Authentic Spirit of Chihuahua. Sotol La Higuera Texanum is a testament to traditional sotol production, meticulously crafted in Aldama, Chihuahua, under the watchful eye of Master Sotolero Gerardo Ruelas. Utilizing time-honored methods, the Dasylirion texanum is cooked in an outdoor conical oven fueled by wood and hot rocks, imparting subtle smoky nuances. The cooked plants are then milled by hand with axes, a labor of love that preserves the integrity of the agave relative. Fermentation occurs naturally with wild yeast in large 1,000-liter pine vats, allowing the local terroir to influence the spirit's character. Finally, the sotol is double distilled in copper alembic stills, resulting in a spirit of exceptional purity and depth.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The nose offers an intriguing bouquet of dried grass, reminiscent of the Chihuahuan landscape, intertwined with distinct mineral notes that speak to the region's soil. A delicate light smoke weaves through these aromas, a subtle hint of the traditional oven roasting.
- Palate: Sotol La Higuera Texanum presents unique sunflower seed flavors on the palate, offering a nutty and slightly oily richness. These notes are beautifully complemented by caramel sweetness, adding depth and complexity.
- Body: This sotol exhibits a medium to full body, providing a satisfying weight and texture on the tongue. Finish: The finish is remarkably velvety, smooth, and lingering, leaving a pleasant warmth and subtle echoes of the nutty and sweet notes.
Sotol La Higuera Texanum is a distinctive spirit that offers a true taste of Chihuahua. It showcases the unique character of the Dasylirion Texanum and the dedication of traditional sotolero Gerardo Ruelas.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
