Lechuguilla Parejo Cenizo - Juan Fernández
Experience the unique character of Lechuguilla Parejo Cenizo, a remarkable sotol crafted by 4th-generation maestro vinatero Juan Fernández in Madera, Chihuahua. This sotol is made from wild maguey Cenizo, which thrives for approximately 15 years in a region known for its coniferous forests, humid summers, and cold, dry winters.
The agaves are traditionally roasted in a pit oven for three days before being crushed with a mechanical shredder. After a 7-day fermentation, the spirit is distilled in a stainless steel alembic still, a detail that contributes to its distinctive flavor profile compared to mezcals from other regions.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: Discover intriguing notes of wet slate, savory jerky, and sweet ripe papaya.
- Taste: The palate is greeted with unexpected and delightful flavors of salt water taffy, fresh watermelon, and a hint of mineral flint.
Parejo Sotol - The Perfect Spirit
Parejo Sotol is the culmination of over 13 years of dedication by founder Jorge Caldera, who has passionately studied the native spirits of Chihuahua. "Parejo" is the term a vinatero uses to describe a sotol that has reached perfection—a state achieved by carefully adjusting the spirit with spring water until the desired "perlas" (beads) form from the center when passed between cuernos.
Born from a shared struggle among maestros whose craft was once considered taboo, Parejo Sotol aims to recapture the historical taste of sotol. This expression offers a different Cenizo flavor profile, possibly influenced by the use of steel, which is still in contrast to the "viejo," which is still common in Durango. Despite being glass-rested for three months at 46% ABV, it retains a delightful "pop."

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.
