Hacienda De Chihuahua Sotol Plata 750ml

Product Description

Sotol, like tequila, is a kind of mezcal. It is an extraordinary pure nectar, highly prized for more than 800 years for its unmatched agave flavors. It is made from a wild agavacea plant that grows only in the high Chihuahuan deser in northern Mexico where it stores vast amounts of natural energy as it endures the bitter winter chill and torrid summer heat for as long as fifteen years. Sotol Hacienda de Chihuahua Plata is our purest version of this exquisite spirit. The Tarahumara Indians created this magical drink from the agavacea plant to celebrate their rituals and religious ceremonies. When the Spanish Conquistadors discovered it, they introduced European distillation methods to achieve a high level of purity. The process of harvesting the plant in the wild remains the same today as it has been throughout the ages. However, to guarantee the continued availability of this wonderful resource in its natural habitat, the producer of Hacienda de Chihuahua, Vinomex, has initiated an extensive conservation program which assures its preservation for future generations to come. The distillation process us under the careful supervision of certified enologist Jose Daumas, graduated from Ecole Nationale Superieure Agronomique, Montpellier, France and with professional experience at Martell, Larsen and Moet-Chandon. His years of experience and expertise assure the excellent quality of Sotol Hacienda de Chihuahua. Either mixed or straight, it offers the fullest wild agavacea taste and complexity which differentiates it from any other agave spirit.
