Tasting: 2 fresh sotol brands from Cardenxe Sotol (Desierto, Sierra) -- The Mexican spirit continues to gain ground in the U.S. cocktails sotol tequila
Sitting on the sidelines of the spirits industry, it can be difficult to tell if a newer spirit category receiving a marketing push is really being successful inlaunching in the U.S. in the last few years, each promising to increase the visibility of the traditional Mexican spirit among American consumers of tequila and mezcal, but it’s a little tough to tell if the average consumer has really been introduced to sotol at this point.
Cardenxe Sotol, meanwhile, is producing two varieties of the spirit, labeled as “Sotol De La Sierra” and “Sotol De Desierto.” The former is produced entirely from, described on the bottle as the “desert blend.” So with that said, let’s get to tasting these two bottles and see how they compare with each other and other sotols on the market.sotol has the somewhat odd distinction of being 40% ABV , rather than the 90 proof Sotol De Desierto, while simultaneously having an MSRP that is $30 higher.
On the palate though, this one wakes up substantially, with moderate smokiness that appears, joined by semi-sweet herbal notes and sea salt. There’s some burnt wood char, which contributes some drying astringency, but it overall creates a balancing act between dryness and sweet herbal tones, notably eucalyptus. All in all, this one is on the more light and subtle side than some of the other, bolder sotol I’ve had.
