Falling in Love with Sotol w Aaron Dujovne | Bartender at Large ep 524 VIDEO

This week we head to the high desert of Chihuahua, Mexico, with Aaron Dujovne, co-founder and director of operations at the award-winning sotol brand Casa Lotos. Aaron shares how he fell for sotol and spent three years working with a master distiller on a spirit made for cocktails. He also explains why sotol is not mezcal, and why it is not as harsh as its reputation says. We dig into the brand's push to teach bartenders and drinkers about the category, including the launch of Sotol Week with fellow sotol producers and a live distillation in New York. Plus, Aaron tells us why sotol shines in a Margarita or Paloma, and what's next for this rugged spirit as it grows.
