The Smooth-Leaf Desert Spirit

Sotol La Higuera Leiophyllum is one of the rarest expressions in the La Higuera lineup, crafted from wild-harvested Dasylirion leiophyllum — the smooth-leaf sotol — found in the high-altitude desert of Chihuahua, Mexico. The Irigoyen family's meticulous approach to wild harvesting and traditional distillation allows the unique character of this less common Dasylirion species to shine through in every bottle.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Delicate and aromatic with fresh herbs, white flowers, green melon, and a clean mineral quality.
• Palate: Light to medium-bodied with roasted sotol, cucumber, lime zest, and a subtle waxy earthiness that gives way to gentle pepper spice.
• Finish: Elegant and dry with a lingering floral herbal note and a crisp mineral close.
