Sotol La Higuera Wheeleri
Discover the Harmonious Complexity of the Chihuahuan Desert.
Sotol La Higuera Wheeleri is a testament to the artisanal traditions of Aldama, Chihuahua, crafted with passion by Master Sotolero Gerardo Ruelas. Utilizing time-honored methods, the Dasylirion wheeleri is cooked in an outdoor conical oven fueled by wood and rocks, imparting a balanced smoky character. The cooked plants are then meticulously milled by hand with axes. Fermentation occurs naturally with wild, ambient yeasts in large 1,000-liter pine vats, allowing the unique terroir to influence its distinctive profile. Finally, the sotol undergoes double distillation in copper alembic stills, resulting in a spirit of exceptional balance and depth.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The nose offers a captivating herbal bouquet, with prominent notes of fresh-cut herbs, such as sage and mint, leading the way. Subtle hints of smoky embers weave through the herbaceousness, adding a layer of intriguing complexity.
- Palate: Sotol La Higuera Wheeleri reveals a delightful interplay of flavors on the palate. The herbal notes become more pronounced, offering a vibrant and refreshing character. Bright hints of tropical pineapple emerge, adding a touch of sweetness and a surprising fruity dimension.
- Finish: The finish is smooth and well-rounded, with the balanced notes of smoke, herbs, and fruit lingering pleasantly. The herbal freshness and subtle pineapple sweetness fade gently, leaving a unique and memorable impression.
Sotol La Higuera Wheeleri offers a harmonious and intriguing taste of the Chihuahuan Desert. It showcases the balanced interplay of smoke, herbs, and fruit derived from the Dasylirion wheeleri and the traditional craftsmanship of Master 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.
