Nose
An incredible olfactory experience. There’s sugar cane, orange blossoms, and sea salt and even a touch of that Orangina soda note.
Taste
Very restrained after the nose. It comes at you slowly and gradually but there’s no climax here, just gentle waves of roasted agave with crests of restrained minerality and eucalyptus herbaceousness.
Method / Background Notes
Palmilla is the Sonorense name for Sotol and you can definitely taste that it’s the same plant that grows in the DO in Chihuahua, Durango, and Coahuila but the combination of the Bacanora style distilling and the a different growing environment makes for a very distinct spirit. Pay attention to the lots on the Mazot Palmilla, the lot that these tasting notes are based on was made in Summer 2019 but there are additional lots from December 2019 and the winter of 2020 which will be making their way to the market soon and each have distinct flavors.
