Born on the high prairie of Nombre de Dios, Durango, Cardenxe Sotol de Pradera is a testament to what happens when ancient tradition meets forward-thinking craft. A new generation of brothers revitalized this storied distillery, powering the entire operation with solar energy while keeping every step of production resolutely artisanal.Made from 100% Dasylirion Cedrosanum sotol harvested from the wild Durango pradera, this blanco is double distilled in copper alembics the old way, letting the land speak for itself. The result is a spirit that carries the distinct terroir of its high-altitude grassland home in every sip. Nose: Toasted corn with a warm, rustic earthiness that evokes open fields at harvest time. Palate: A beautifully layered Harvest at Dawn experience, with notes of dry hay, supple leather, and a gentle sweet earthiness that lingers on the tongue. Finish: Long and nostalgic, with a whisper of burnt corn that fades like a warm memory. Cardenxe Sotol de Pradera shines in a Sotol Mule, where ginger and lime lift its earthy grassland character, or try it in a Sotol Old Fashioned to let those leathery, smoky-sweet notes take center stage.Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the aromatics open fully. A rare expression of 100% Dasylirion Cedrosanum sotol from Nombre de Dios, Durango.
