La Higuera Sotol Wheeleri

La Higuera Sotol Wheeleri offers a unique perspective on Northern Mexico’s traditional spirits. Made from Dasylirion wheeleri (a close relative to agave), this sotol comes from the Chihuahuan desert and is distilled by Gerardo Ruelas — one of the most respected sotoleros in the region.

This expression is lean and mineral-forward with subtle green herbs and desert florals. Compared to many mezcals, Wheeleri is drier and more structured, with soft smoke and an earthy finish. It’s perfect for agave enthusiasts looking to branch into new terrain or for pairing with grilled vegetables and lean meats.
