About this bottle
Erstwhile Cucharillo Joven is a limited-edition sotol, a wild-harvested spirit made from the Dasylirion (spoon plant, or "cucharillo") native to the Chihuahuan Desert of northern Mexico. Sotol is its own protected category distinct from tequila and mezcal, since it isn't made from agave at all, though it shares similar traditional roasting and distilling methods. Bottled as a joven straight after distillation, it is meant to show the plant's raw character: an earthy, herbal spirit with notes of green agave-adjacent vegetal flavor, black pepper, and citrus. It suits adventurous agave-spirit drinkers curious about a lesser-known Mexican category.
How to drink Erstwhile Cucharillo Joven Sotol
Sip it neat in a copita to appreciate the raw, herbal character straight off the still — this is a rare, small-batch spirit worth tasting on its own before mixing it into anything.
