Puntagave Sotol Chihuahua
Puntagave Sotol Chihuahua is a rare gem among Mexican spirits, crafted by Maestro Tequilero Guillermo Barroso Arnaud at traditional vinatas in the Chihuahuan Desert of Northern Mexico. Often overshadowed by tequila, this spirit is made from wild-harvested Dasylirion wheeleri, a desert spoon plant from the asparagus family that takes about 15 years to mature. Thriving in the desert’s harsh conditions, only the strongest plants survive, storing natural energy without the use of herbicides, insecticides, or fertilizers. The piñas are roasted in volcanic rock-lined pits for 3 to 4 days, hand-crushed, and fermented in the open air for 4 to 8 days. Double distilled—first in a fire-fueled pot-still, then with gas—the spirit reaches 60-80% ABV before being proofed down and rested unfiltered for 60 days. Bottled at a robust yet approachable strength, this spirit captures the wild essence of the Chihuahuan Desert as of May 23, 2025.
