Not Sotol — Agave, From the Canyon Country
Chihuahua's Batopilas canyon is wild, remote country, and Tavi Torres distills there in small batches. This Lot 4 bottling is made from lechuguilla — a wild agave (Agave shrevei) — which makes it an agave spirit in the mezcal family rather than a true desert-spoon sotol, a distinction worth getting right. At nearly 104 proof it is bottled bold. Explore more agave spirits and small-batch Mexican distillates at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
No official producer tasting notes located; retailer copy is generic filler and is not repeated here. Expect the high-proof, mineral, wild-agave character typical of small-batch Chihuahua distillates — bottle-specific notes pending verification.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a copita or small snifter to appreciate the wild-agave intensity; a few drops of water tame the proof. Not a mixing spirit at this strength — sip it like a cask-strength mezcal.
