Distilled from 100% organic rye and finished in Sotol casks from Desert Door Sotol, this whiskey is a bold conversation between the American grain belt and the Chihuahuan Desert, where ancient Dasylirion plants have weathered centuries of sun and stone.
The nose opens with desert rain on warm earth: roasted agave, green chile, and dry herbal warmth that recalls sagebrush after a thunderstorm. On the palate, the rye's muscular spice meets smoky mesquite and charred prickly pear, with undertones of leather, raw cacao, and a vegetal sweetness like roasted poblano. The finish is long and contemplative, carrying campfire smoke, mineral salt, and the quiet heat of desert sunset.
What is Sotol?
Sotol is a spirit from the Chihuahuan Desert, distilled from the Dasylirion plant (desert spoon). The Dasylirion weathers decades of sun and stone before it is harvested, which gives sotol its vegetal, mineral and earthy character. For this release the rye finishes in casks that previously held sotol from Desert Door Sotol.
