Sotol 1709 "Chihuahua Sierra"
The Verdant Soul of the High Timberline
While its "Desierto" sibling captures the heat of the plains, Sotol 1709 Sierra takes you deep into the cool, lush forests of Madera, Chihuahua. This is a spirit defined by altitude. Crafted from wild Dasylirion plants that cling to the rugged slopes of the Sierra Madre, this expression offers a crisp, botanical profile that stands as a sophisticated alternative to tequila.
With a legacy dating back to the first documented distillations in 1709, this bottle is a tribute to the "Handcrafted" era. No shortcuts, no industrial additives—just the pure, historical spirit of the mountains captured through traditional fermentation.
The Alpine Craft
The character of the Sierra expression is shaped by its environment:
The High Forest: Sourced from plants grown among pine and oak trees, the raw material absorbs a completely different mineral and botanical profile than desert-grown varieties.Meticulous Fermentation: A slow, natural process that preserves the delicate floral and ester-heavy notes typical of high-altitude distillation.Historical Integrity: Every batch is a labor of love, ensuring that the final pour is as vibrant and potent as the Sotol that first gained legendary popularity in Northern Mexico centuries ago.
Tasting Notes: A Forest in Bloom
- Nose: Bright and aromatic; immediate notes of fresh pine and the scent of wet grass after a mountain rain.
- Palate: Clean and crisp. Soft layers of green banana and creamy fruit are balanced by the elegant perfume of orange blossom.
- Body: Light and ethereal, with a botanical complexity that mimics a fine gin but with the soul of a wild spirit.
- Finish: Refreshing and cool; a lingering, peppery mint sensation that leaves the palate feeling revitalized.
The Sierra Experience
- The Perfect Aperitif: With its bright, minty, floral profile, the Sierra expression is an excellent way to open the palate before a meal.
- Neat & Chilled: While excellent at room temperature, a slight chill can enhance the crisp "forest floor" notes of pine and mint.
- The "Sierra" Highball: Pair with a high-quality tonic or sparkling water and a sprig of fresh mint to highlight its verdant, botanical heart.
Sotol 1709 Sierra is a breath of mountain air, vibrant, floral, and unmistakably alive.

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.
