Hacienda de Chihuahua Sotol
Cardenxe Sotol de la Sierra
Cardenxe Sotol de la Sierra is a Joven sotol. Sotol originates from northern Mexico, specifically Chihuahua, Coahuila and Durango, under a denomination of origin established in 2002. It derives from the Dasylirion plant, which is not an agave but produces a spirit consumed similarly to mezcal or tequila. Traditional methods involve roasting the heart in earthen pits before fermentation and distillation. The Joven classification indicates a young expression bottled without wood contact after distillation. This label belongs to the sotol category and represents its unaged style.
