Gerardo Ruelas, the fourth generation of his family as sotol producers, presents our Vivorá label, which embodies our interpretation of a long-standing tradition passed down through generations as a medicinal remedy. This unique concoction combines avocado infused with micro-doses of viper venom and is aged alongside cooked sotol pineapples.
