Cardenxe Sotol de Desierto

Chihuahua

Cardenxe Sotol de Desierto is a joven sotol produced by Gerardo Ruelas. This spirit presents a sweet and vegetal profile that remains approachable without aggressive grassy funk. The distiller maintains the alcohol content at 45 percent to ensure robust flavor presence without harsh bite. Palate notes include sweet sugar minerality and hints of sugar snap peas. The absence of batch information does not detract from its clear character. This label offers a straightforward expression of desert agave that prioritizes drinkability and clean structure over complexity.

About the Brand

Different winds & soil, methods, cultures and climates influence the sotol, and as such the brand aims to explore the unique profiles of each region.
