sotol hacienda de chihuahua

We recently tried a bottle of Sotol Hacienda de Chihuahua Plata. During the process of getting it open we couldnt avoid noticing that the cap was help in place by a leather string which was fastened to the bottle with a wax stamp. Beyond that we were amazed how it tasted exactly like premium tequila. Sotol comes from a wild Agavacea variety called Dasylirion. This is different than the 100%Blue Weber Agave that tequila is made from. The Sotol plants grow mainly in the Chihuahua region of mexico. The plata was quite smooth. We drank it with fresh lime juice as well as in margarita's. We were very impressed with the price once we tasted how good it was. Next time you are looking for a good value, look for Sotol Hacienda de Chihuahua.
