8 reviewsLOTE 10102019
Region: Alameda, Chihuahua, Mexico
ABV: 38%
Production: ceramic oven, natural fermentation with champagne yeast, twice distilled in double-column copper still, aged 12 months in new French white oak barrels
Appearance: clear, very light straw yellow. thin but still coats the glass. some floaters from the natural cork.
Nose: floral, orchard fruit (apples + apricot), hint of smoke
Palate: butterscotch, oak & vanilla
Finish: Earthy, lingering vanilla
this is very much an enjoyable, easy drinking repo. not the most complex, some would say watered down, & possibly not the best example of sotol since it is barrel aged instead of showcasing the plant’s flavor by itself. I can acknowledge that, it is what it is & good enough that I would consider giving Hacienda’s 45 abv Sotol Rustico a try.

Nose: Floral sweetness. Very light vanilla.
Palate: Initially bitter. Black licorice. Vanilla. Tad bit of a soapy taste. Thin mouth-feel. Floral finish but more from the stems or leaves. Earthy wet soil detected in the aftertaste with lingering vanilla.
The French oak barrels do add value to this brand – versus their platinum sotol. Still, it’s a bit rough.

3 reviewsAnother gray sipping Sotol. Much like their Añejo this Sotol is very smooth and lacks the harsh bite of many other drink. The Reposado is a fantastic fairly cheap bottle of Sotol to enjoy with company. So smooth it’s easy to find yourself enjoying good conversation with friends till sunup; or the bottle runs dry. This is my go to for a inexpensive bottle of Sotol.
