Aguerrido Mezcal
Sotoleros Bienvenido Fernández
Sotoleros Bienvenido Fernández presents a Destilado de Agave ensamble blending Wheeleri and Shrevei species. The profile reveals dusty, green leafy notes alongside honeydew and oyster mushroom aromas. Palate sensations include chamomile, fresh cut grass, and a distinct mineral finish of river rocks. Some notes describe a buttery funk while others detect an artificial sweetness akin to xylitol. The spirit balances bright citrus with raw honey and clay minerality. This lot demonstrates the complex character of desert agave distillation without relying on common herbal clichés.

About the Brand
Sotoleros is a collection of traditional distillates from northern Mexico, which seeks to represent the tradition, art and culture of the region. Products from this brand began appearing on shelves in early 2021. Sotoleros has a connection with the legendary brand Clande Sotol – the colors on the bottle labels follow a similar pattern too. However, Soloteros is not a “rebrand” and the exact history between the two brands is unknown.
