Full-bodied, dry, smoky, and grassy. Meanwhile, not bitter or astringent. Can't think of a spirit that evokes The Desert more than this, so the branding is plenty appropriate. The oak-aging mellows and sweetens it seemingly just the right amount. This is my first sotol, so I have no basis for comparison, but it is very compelling.

St. George Baller Single Malt Whisky
American Single Malt — California, USA
Reviewed December 13, 2022I respect St. George for really going for it with this. It doesn't really fit into any category of whisky I am familiar with. It's probably closest to a scotch with its vegetal smokiness. But it also has prominent umeboshi and honeysuckle. It's something you have to taste to understand. I can't say I really care for it neat. As it's meant for a highball, I tried it as such, and it made a very distinctive highball. The aforementioned accords carry through, but are much more pleasant and less pungent. Even so, I'm not sure I'll revisit this anytime soon once my bottle is finished.
