Flor Del Desierto Carnei is a one of a kind Mexican spirit. Distilled in the mountains of Madera, Chihuahua by legendary sotolero José "Chito" Fernandez Flores - this sotol is made in a pechuga "style." Pechuga as a category is usually associated with celebratory agave based spirits made to commemorate anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, and tunerals. Typically, a protein (usually meat) is suspended in the still along with local fruits and grains for an additional distillation after the traditional two passes. For this limited sotol, Chito distilles local venison (deer), along with walnuts, seasonal fruits, and star anis in his hybrid still. The result is as savory as it is spicy, with plenty of anis, grilled sausage, and cooked apple flavors to greet the palate. Even for the seasoned sotol enthusiast, chances are they have never had a spirit quite like Flor Del Desierto's Carnei.
