Acrónimo Sotol Blanco Review | Traditional Sotol from Chihuahua What makes sotol one of Mexico's most exciting emerging spirits? In this review, Brad explores Acrónimo Sotol Blanco, a traditional, family-owned, female-led spirit produced at Casa Inspiración in Aldama, Chihuahua by fourth-generation Maestro Sotolero Gerardo Ruelas. Using a unique blend of Cedrosanum and Wheeleri Dasylirion species, Acrónimo Sotol Blanco showcases how different plant species create distinctive flavor profiles, much like mezcal. Produced using traditional methods, this sotol undergoes open-air fermentation in wooden vats with native yeasts, bagazo-lined fermentation rooms, and double distillation in copper pot stills to preserve its authentic character. Brad also shares detailed tasting notes, highlighting aromas and flavors of leather, earth, green apple, herbs, chili spice, minerality, and a long peppery finish, while explaining why Acrónimo Sotol Blanco is an excellent introduction to the sotol category.
