Sotomayor Leiophyllum 750ML - Sotomayor Leiophyllum is a Sotol made with Dasylirion Leiophyllum. This sotol is produced in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. The Sotol plants were cooked in an underground oven for five days before being fermented in wooden casks and double-distilled.
Leiophyllum, commonly known as green sotol, is part of the asparagus vegetable family.
Made by the hand of sotolero master Gerardo Ruelas
Sotol is made from Dasylirion wheeleri, the desert spoon, which grows widely throughout Northern Mexico and the South West United States. It is frequently lumped into agave spirits because the plant resembles agave.
Unlike mezcal which is smoked in pits, Sotol is roasted in above-ground ovens for its smoky flavor. Sotol received a Mexican denomination of origin in 2004, restricting legal production to the northern states of Chihuahua (historically the epicenter of the spirit), Coahuila, and Durango.

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.
