Sotol La Higuera Leiophyllum is produced in Aldama, Chihuahua by Master Sotolero Gerardo Ruelas. The sotol plants are cooked in an outdoor conical oven and then milled by hand with axes. The fibers are naturally fermented with wild yeasts in 1,000-liter pine vats before being double distilled in copper alembic stills. The Wheeleri has a rounded balance of smoke herbs and fruit. The nose is more herbal with hints of smoke. The palate shows more of the herbs with hints of pineapple.
