Hacienda de Chihuahua Sotol Anejo

Hacienda de Chihuahua's Anejo Sotol is a 24 month old sotol, matured in French oak barrels and made in Mexico from the Desert Spoon shrub. It picked up a Tequila.net's Best Sotol award in 2011 and is an excellent example of the 'Other Other' spirit of Mexico.

Terrific representation of the spirit when it has been aged. Color is only marginally deeper than the reposado. Nose gives you vanilla, butterscotch and spice notes, but they never overpower the herbal agave scent. Taste is very smooth with minimal heat. Again with the sweet vanilla & butterscotch notes, but not at the expense of the peppery agave flavor.
