An alcoholic beverage made in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, by roasting, fermenting, and then distilling the roots of the Desert spoon or sotol plant (Dasylirion wheeleri).
Although the process is similar to that used for mezcal, sotol is not a mezcal, since it is not made from agave. Likely to become a controlled appellation.
