La Higuera
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.
