16 reviewsAmazing value on this sotol. Defintely what I was expecting. Very herbacious, nice punch from the abv, sweet, does not linger, but phenomenal for the price. I will definitey get a second bottle.

26 reviewsSweet jackfruit, vanilla, alcohol, and road tar on the nose. It does not taste as sweet as it smells though, with a nice, balanced herbaceous quality and understated smokiness. Decent burn on the finish but the flavors dissipate quicker than I’d prefer. Oh well, at $20 a bottle, this stuff is a steal.
