Crisol Presents: Sotol Tasting & Lecture

  • Crisol Bar 196 West Simpson Street Tucson, AZ, 85701 United States (map)

$40 | 21+

Sotol, derived from the Dasylirion genus (aka Desert Spoon), is not an agave spirit. But it neighbors agave spirits in its similar production methods. Sotol’s denomination of origin embraces three Mexican states–Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Durango–but the distillate occurs in other northern states, not least Sonora. It is sometimes called “the spirit of the desert.” In recent years, the rise of sotol in spirits markets has raised questions about its future sustainability. Join sotol activist Sandro Cánovas Sotol Lazadores Co-Op President Daniel Chavira, and Omhar Acuña of Los Cantiles 1905 for a tasting and discussion surrounding Sotol’s heritage and production.
