  • Intro:

    This is a Sotol produced by Gerardo Ruelas using Dasylilrion Leiophyllum with rattlesnake added to distillation. If Sotol wasn't already interesting enough, this was a compelling combination that I had to try. Let's dive in.

  • Nose:

    Earthy, floral. Honey, bread, perfumey. Really effervescent and interesting. Strange, to say the least.

  • Taste:

    Sweet. Brown sugar, vinegar. Beets, molasss, light ammonia. Dirty, earthy.

  • Finish:

    Medium in length, but a bit hot and a good deal of earth. Molasses, pepper, light brine and clay. Interesting.

  • Overall:

    Super unique. I kind of waffle between loving it and not loving it, but I like this more than the desert. Crazy unique.

  • Score:

    6
