Señor Sotol

Nose: Oily, fruity, green vegetal aromas, new leather jacket. Palate: Sweet arrival, fruity, citric, mineralic and vegetal. Some mild earthy, spicy notes. Finish: Medium. Sweet and green-vegetal (asparagus, artichoke, Brussels sprouts). The nose is a little sweeter and crisper than any tequila I’ve tasted, but it is not as full-bodied as mezcal and if there was any smoke present I didn’t notice it. The palate is likewise well rounded but light and soft. Very pleasant overall. This is the first of four quick-hit reviews based on an impromptu tasting at a local liquor shop. Good stuff at a reasonable price. If you are into either tequila or mezcal give this a try. “Good” : 84/100 (3.75 stars)

Neat. Perfectly clear with very long legs. Aroma is pleasant with fruit, leather, a hint of funk. Taste is sweet with a little ethanol heat, fruity, leather, minerals/earth, hint of evergreen. Finish is sweet with that hint of leather. Overall very tasty and easy to drink, yet interesting. Great entry into Sotols. Very good value for what I paid at a warehouse club. I'll pick up another bottle if available
