La Escondida Sotol Artesanal Blanco is a rare and fascinating spirit from Mexico that differs from classic agave distillates. This artisanal sotol is distilled from the wild Dasylirion plant, which grows in the arid desert regions of Chihuahua, Durango and Coahuila. With an alcohol content of 40% vol. and bottled in an elegant 0.7-litre bottle, this sotol offers a unique flavour profile that combines earthy and herbal notes with a subtle minerality.

The name La Escondida, which translates as ‘the hidden woman’, is based on a fascinating legend dating back to 1543. According to the tale, a Spanish princess was taken captive but managed to escape – yet she was never found again. Local fishermen later claimed to have spotted her as a mermaid in the Pacific. This mystical tale lends La Escondida an air of mystery that is reflected in every bottle.
