Nose
Very light honey and sandalwood.
Taste
Rich sandalwood with a spicy Red Hot cinnamon flavor. There’s a touch of that szechuan peppercorn effect at the back of the mouth that makes it very lively.
Method / Background Notes
Sotols aren’t traditionally aged so this approach seems like it’s a hybrid of the tequila and whiskey worlds. Desert Door says that this is “aged to taste for up to one year in New American white oak barrels with a medium char.” so it’s on the Reposado spectrum of light aging and the flavors follow that as they lean towards like wood and fall spices.
