Called to get a torta from my favorite taco truck...they got slammed at lunch today and had to close early because they ran out of food. Reopening for dinner, so my torta has been put on hold. I am sad.
If you ever see this stuff, give it a shot. I thought it was pretty tasty. Desert Door Texas Sotol Original is produced using sotol plants harvested in the Chihuahuan Desert of West Texas. Dasylirion Texanum, or green desert spoon, has thinner leaves than Dasylirion Wheeleri. The plants are transported to the Desert Door distillery in Driftwood, Texas and cooked in a large custom steamer (similar to a pressure cooker). Next, the plants are machine-shredded and then fermented in stainless steel tanks for 5 days using an organic, proprietary yeast. The resulting mash is distilled in their custom-build still. The spirit is adjusted to 40% ABV using purified water before being bottled. This sotol is herbaceous, creamy, and the vegetal notes reflect it’s desert terroir.
