Mesteno Reposado Sotol

Mesteno Reposado Sotol is 51% agave and 49% cane spirits. A less expensive alternative that still contains the unique flavor from the heart of the Sotol plant from Chihuahua, Mexico. Use Mesteno in your favorite cocktail or enjoy it neat in a snifter.

Very low price. Unfortunately, this is not one hundred percent pure sotol. I was lucky enough to buy this at a fair in Mexico. Initial smell is very light. The taste is average at best. I was stunned by the bad aftertaste. I soon learned that it is because this product is sotol mixed with sugars. I also tried Fiesta which is also produced by Hacienda. Very low quality and also not pure sotol. I was surprised that Hacienda, which makes a very very good sotol, was behind these products. It was a representative a Hacienda that told me that these products contained other additives. Truly disappointed. Mesteno is good for a young drinker or someone on a tight budget.

Mesteno Sotol Reposado. I purchased this sotol mixto @ Licores de Chihuahua on a recent trip to Juarez & on the recommendation of the proprietor. I should have invested in HDC instead. The color is light amber with slight green tones. With the exception of the smell of alcohol, the nose was almost nonexistent. The first taste was reminiscent of agavecea with a sweetness due to the cane spirits & alcohol burn. The experience does get a little better with more of the agavecea taste opening up through the somewhat rapid finish. It all ends up being smoother than I initially thought which was probably due to the fact that me estomago was becoming numbed over the tasting period. Do not confuse this product with the fine spirits of HDC or the Bronze Medal on the label. Inexpensive @ best. Bottom shelf. D-/D
