WHATS GREAT ABOUT SOTOL
Well-made sotol is a varied, unusually complex, and seductive distilled spirit with a lot of complex and exceptional flavor: it can be grassily vegetal, or leathery, have a hint of red pepper, have superb minerality, incorporate smokiness from being wood- fire roasted, be also subtly sweet. It is quite literally like nothing you have ever tasted
There is a focused authenticity that derives from the plant being a part of a culture’s life for thousands of years. We believe that the reason that mezcal and sotol are so directly compelling is that they are made by persons whose intimate connection with the plants go back for millenia. Let’s hope that this doesn’t disappear with the commercial intrusion of the modern world.
Drink Real believes deeply in helping to preserve ancestral methods as part of an enduring culture.
