The bastard spirit of the agave world. A bit harsh maybe, but... In 2009 the taxonomy of the agave was changed and the family of Agaveceae was split up due to leaf shapes and thorn presence as well as inflorescence types etc, and was recognised under a separate group, Nolinaceae, and the Agaveceae was no longer regonised as a family, but grouped into a more inclusive family, Asparagceae, though both are in Asparagales. So, simply put, it was an agave spirit, not it is Sotol, and it tastes absolutely yummy.
