Hacienda de Chihuahua Sotol
La Higuera Cucharilla
La Higuera Cucharilla is a Joven sotol with intense floral and sweet candy notes. The nose presents bubble gum, ripe banana, and violets alongside talc and suede. Palate flavors include celery leaf, hay, cinnamon, and heavy florality from echinacea and lavender. The mouthfeel is smooth yet astringent, numbing the lips slightly. The finish reveals perlite, worm castings, arugula, and honeycrisp apples. Some notes mention rubber or plastic nuances that remain pleasant. This expression balances sweet orchard fruits with classic dry sotol minerality and dried herbs on the finish.

About the Brand
La Higuera is a project that set out with the intention of showcasing the diversity in flavor that different sotol species can give us. This is clear when tasting the core lineup alongside each other which are all made by 3rd generation Maestro Sotolero Don Gerardo Ruelas. In addition to exploring sotol types, La Higuera is exploring sotol spirits beyond the D.O. La Higuera has special releases from Puebla, Oaxaca, and Sonora which expands into the broad tapestry of terrior, maker, production, and variety. These special releases are produced in tiny batches and sell out quickly.
