The piñas are roasted in a wood-fired pit for 36-48 hours, milled and then fermented in an open vat. After triple distillation, the sotol is bottled at 38% alc./vol. (76 proof).

This blanco expression launched in the USA in March 2021.

Salty, smoky and herbaceous with citrus, cracked black pepper and an oaky note as if aged.
