How We Feel About the Spirit
At $90 a bottle, Los Magos’ Barrel-Aged Sotol WhistlePig Edition #1 is more than just a collector’s splurge—it’s a complex sensory journey aged in barrels from one of our most beloved whiskey houses: WhistlePig. For fans like us, that detail alone made it an irresistible buy.
In the glass, it shines with a light-to-medium straw hue, hinting at delicacy, but don’t let that fool you.
On the nose, it’s a walk through contrasting worlds: earthy and woody like desert terrain after rain, rounded by notes of butter and caramel, softened with vanilla, then jolted awake with black pepper and overripe banana. There's also the unmistakable essence of agave, grounding it in its northern Mexican roots.
The taste? Classic sotol burn meets something wilder. A sharp peppery bite dominates up front, followed by resinous wood and a curious hint of nail varnish—an intense reminder that this isn't for the faint of palate. It’s bold, unapologetic, and a bit wild.
The experience dances between contradictions: watery yet rich, refined yet harsh, dry yet big and complex. It's a pour that challenges expectations and leaves you second-guessing.
This isn’t just a drink. It’s a conversation between two traditions—sotol’s rustic elegance and WhistlePig’s rye-forward swagger. And for those who admire both, this collab feels like a small, smoky celebration in a bottle.
