Sotol or Desert Spoon (Dasylirion wheeleri):
Over 800 years ago, the local indigenous people
discovered the intoxicating properties of this
wild Agave plant. Centuries later, we are
presented with the distinguished premium spirit
called Sotol.
Unlike the Blue Weber Agave used for Tequila,
the Dasylirion does not reproduce from hijuelos (shoots from the base of the plant), rather it germinates from the thousands of seeds produced by its quiote (flowering stalk).
