This time it was this sotol, a sweet canteen style bottle with a little red wax sealing fixed leather strips to it's textured glass walls. A great presentation indeed. After chilling and cracking the seal I poured about 3oz in a standard glass gebralter and caught it's initial aroma as I swirled it's seemingly low viscosity character around a little. A nice grassy, vegetable, highly agave aroma was a nice surprise, I expected a pungent ethanol for it's category and price. My first taste was a surprise, the viscosity seemed to highten upon entry and laid a smooth clean gloss over my tongue, the flavor being highly organic, not so much citrus but more of a wild vegetable. The finish was equally as pleasant and gave the bite I was hoping for, I like to be reminded I'm drinking a high proof spirit, after all. Despite previous reviews I was pleasantly surprised with every aspect of this new experience, and plan on buying more in the near future. ]]> Fri, 01 Jun 2012 19:14:23 +0000 <![CDATA[Hacienda De Chihuahua Sotol Plata: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/sotol-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1538 https://www.tequila.net/sotol-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=1538 I had to remind myself I am tasting a wild agave and not a 100% blue agave tequila.. I wanted to try this because of recommendations from friends. Aside from the very pleasant aroma, this wasn't a pleasurable experience for me, and mostly bitter from beginning to end. I tried to keep my ratings based on it's own wild agave qualities..But to be perfectly honest, thats tough to do. Im not a huge fan of mescal, and this only perpetuates it.. If you like more alcohol presence, bitterness throughout, and a pungent finish. This is is the way to go. If you like mescal, this is great. But it's just not for me. ]]> Fri, 21 May 2010 01:49:51 +0000 <![CDATA[Hacienda De Chihuahua Sotol Plata: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/sotol-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=650 https://www.tequila.net/sotol-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=650 Truly an original drink. Nice smoky flavor. Earthy and smooth. ]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:39:48 +0000 <![CDATA[Hacienda De Chihuahua Sotol Plata: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/sotol-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=549 https://www.tequila.net/sotol-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=549 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. ]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 03:33:11 +0000 <![CDATA[Hacienda De Chihuahua Sotol Plata: ]]> https://www.tequila.net/sotol-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=416 https://www.tequila.net/sotol-reviews/blancos/discussions/review.html?id=416 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.

The entire HDC Sotol lineup is rich with flavor and highly recommended. ]]> Sun, 25 Feb 2007 17:14:34 +0000
