Flor del Desierto Cascabel Snake Pechuga Sotol is a rare pechuga-style sotol from Chihuahua, Mexico, triple distilled with rattlesnake meat and rested in old oak. It is bottled at 48% ABV (96 proof).

The Story of Cascabel

Cascabel means “rattlesnake.” Maestro Sotolero Don Gerardo Ruelas uses wild Dasylirion leiophyllum, 18 to 22 years old, harvested at low elevation in the Coyame Desert. The plants are pit-roasted over willow and oak, shredded by axe and knife, and fermented 5 to 7 days in open-air pine tanks. The third distillation adds fresh rattlesnake meat at about 3 grams per liter, and the sotol then rests 90 days in 40-year-old neutral oak casks.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Citrus, quince and salty pine resin
  • Palate: Rounded by the natural sweetness of roasted sotol and soft oak vanilla
  • Finish: Long, elegant and mineral

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat at room temperature from a copita.
