Don Cuco Sotol Suave

Don Cuco Sotol Suave

During the 19th century, in the northern region of Mexico, an Indian tribe acclaimed their religious rituals with a nectar used as a medical remedy made from a plant called the sereque. The sereque grows abundantly in the Chihuahua desert and is carefully selected for production of the smooth, natural tasting nectar. This nectar is called Sotol and its quality depends on the skill and knowledge of the master distiller.

The making of sotol is an art, which Don Cuco learned from his father and grandfather who lived among the Indians. Don Cuco passed this art to his children, who are now re-introducing the heritage. From here, Don Cuco's sons, master Sotol makers, are reintroducing a generation old family drink into the United States with firm commitment - to continue producing the best in quality.

Aroma: Very similar to the Tradicional, but milder on the nose.
Initial taste: Iodine, grass, smoke, citrus, coriander, and pepper.
Body: Semi-oily with a wonderful mouthfeel. Intensely complex with a load of flavors dancing around.
Finish: Iodine and smoke leads to grass and citrus which leads to spice and pepper with mild hint of toasted almonds on the background. Smooth, smooth, smooth.

This one may be too easy to drink and acts as a fantastic late-afternoon precursor to a meal. This may be one of the most fun and enjoyable spirits I've ever had. Scotch whisky drinkers will find a lot to like with this one.
