What does SOTOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
botanyNorth American
A spiky desert plant related to the yucca and agave, native to Mexico and the south-western United States, or a distilled spirit made from its fermented sap.
Sotol grows as a rosette of narrow, saw-edged leaves around a tall central stalk, thriving in the arid deserts and hills of northern Mexico and nearby Texas and New Mexico. Traditionally its sugary core was roasted and fermented, and today the same name is given to the clear distilled spirit made from it, similar in spirit to tequila and mezcal but from a different plant. Both the plant and the drink named after it have become better known outside the region as sotol has gained popularity among spirits enthusiasts.
