Sotol Coyote Durango Blanco

Experience the Gentle Spirit of the Durango Desert.

From the skilled hands of Maestro Sotolero Gerardo Ruelas comes Sotol Coyote Durango Blanco, a unique expression of the desert\’s bounty, offering a softer and more nuanced profile. Crafted in Durango, this sotol embodies a traditional approach. The Dasylirion (Coyote variety) is ground using a tahona (stone mill), baked in a conical oven, and naturally fermented in wooden tubs with pure well water. This meticulous process yields a spirit with sweet and mineral characteristics that beautifully represent the region.
