Sotomayor Texanum Blanco Sotol
Emerging from the extreme climate and shifting sands of Chihuahua, Sotomayor Texanum Blanco is a "liquid jewel of the desert." Crafted from the Dasylirion Texanum plant, a resilient variety of the Desert Spoon, this spirit is a pure expression of Northern Mexico’s rugged beauty.
Under the expert guidance of Master Sotolero Gerardo Ruelas, Sotomayor focuses on artisanal extraction and authentic, generation-spanning recipes. While often grouped with agave spirits, this D.O. (Denomination of Origin) distillate offers a completely unique profile, born from a plant that takes up to 15 years to reach maturity in the wild.
Tasting Notes
- Color: Brilliant, diamond-like clarity. Aroma: Bright and highly aromatic. It opens with distinct notes of wild honey and desert floor, transitioning into a floral bouquet of lavender and orange blossom with a backdrop of earthy minerals.
- Palate: A silky yet powerful entry. The Texanum variety is known for its delicate sweetness, offering flavors of cooked agave, citrus peel, and a hint of dried herbs. The smoke is subtle and integrated, reminiscent of a distant campfire rather than an intense char.
- Finish: Long and remarkably smooth. It concludes with a refreshing minty coolness and a touch of spicy black pepper that invites another sip.

The Texanum Experience
Sotomayor Texanum Blanco is the perfect introduction for those curious about Sotol. Because the Texanum species often yields a slightly sweeter and more floral profile than other varieties, it is exceptionally approachable. It shines when served neat at room temperature or as a sophisticated substitute for gin or tequila in a Botanical Sour.

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.
