Sotol Coyote Víbora "Viper"
A Legacy of Tradition and Intrigue
From the esteemed hands of Gerardo Ruelas, a fourth-generation sotol producer, comes Sotol Coyote Víbora "Viper" – a unique expression rooted in family tradition and whispered remedies. This intriguing label incorporates avocado and microdoses of cascabel viper venom, resting in contact with the cooked sotol "pineapples" during production. This unconventional process yields a sotol with a distinct character, a testament to generations of shared knowledge and the enigmatic spirit of the desert.
Tasting Notes:
- View: It presents a pale gold hue with greenish reflections, appearing clean and bright in the glass.
- Nose: It exhibits a marked aromatic intensity, with prominent notes of green tea and fresh lemongrass. Subtle hints of prickly pear emerge alongside a distinct metallic (palladium) note and a gentle smoky undertone.
- Taste: The initial attack on the palate is fine and elegant, with a silky texture and a slightly candied (acitronado) sweetness. The alcohol is seamlessly integrated, allowing the unique flavors to unfold. A distinctive, slight sensation of tingling or itching on the tip of the tongue adds an intriguing and characteristic element.
- Finish: The finish is smooth and complex, with the herbal and slightly metallic notes lingering alongside the subtle sweetness and the characteristic tingling sensation.
- Pairing Suggestions: Sotol Coyote Víbora's unique profile pairs well with bold and earthy flavors. Enjoy it with meatballs in tomato broth, tacos of maguey worms accompanied by fresh guacamole and papalo quelite leaves, or roasted chapulines with lemon. Its intriguing character will complement these distinctive dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
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.
