Don Gerardo Ruelas is the Maestro Sotolero of Flor del Desierto ("desert flower") and distills his products from the sotol, a flowering plant. The plant is not an agave, so this is neither a mezcal nor a tequila. For this limited-edition bottling, the sotol grows for 18 to 22 years before it's harvested from the dry deserts of Coyame del Sotol in Chihuahua.

This is a beautiful Sotol! Definitely on the top list for the category, the minerals that come through this smooth spirit make it very unique. I love Flor del desierto, is good quality and not overpriced
Wood smoke, green sotol, earth. Smoky and peppery and slightly vegetal.
Peppery with notes of dry leather
Strong notes of chocolate
Strong anise.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
