Youthful and clear, with medium sweet grassy nose and mild scent of smoke, sharp alcohol initial taste with minty agave full body, with mild spice and floral undertone finish and aftertaste.

The entire HDC Sotol lineup is rich with flavor and highly recommended.

Tasted in a caballito on April 3, 2008 showing lasting legs on the glass.

Sotol Hacienda De Chihuahua Plata

Color: clear
Aroma: citrus
Taste: citrus peel & rinds with a mint taste, a light mouthfeel and slight burn finish

This was an accidental first experience tasting a Sotol. I was at the liquor store and recognized the bottle, though did not realize it was a Sotol rather than Tequila. I am not a big fan now of Sotol as it tasted very bitter to me neat and even the bitterness came through in cocktails.

Hacienda de Chihuahua Sotol Plata. I had to remind myself I was reviewing a 100% wild harvested Agavacea & not tequila. There are some similarities but many differences. The color is pure crystal, like high mountain spring water. The rather undistinguished nose was slightly chemical with a small hint of alcohol. The initial taste was spicy with a nutty aftertaste & warm afterglow. I found this sotol to be light to medium light in body with some sweetness & low alcohol. The finish was very open, almost like menthol, with some bitterness & hints of licorice fading away. Overall it was suprisingly smooth for being so young. If you want to try something different & not pay tequila $$$, I highly recommend sotol. Try a Sotolrita instead of a Margarita, or a 50/50 mix, for a nice refreshing change. A-.
