A Spirit Born from Resilience and Ingenuity
In the rugged landscape of the Sierra Madre Occidental, a unique spirit has emerged, shaped by the tenacity of those who dared to defy convention. Sotol, a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of its creators, invites you to embark on a journey of discovery and wonder.
STORY
The Unstoppable Spirit of Sotol
The story of Sotol is one of determination and defiance, a tale of a spirit that refused to be silenced. For generations, the Fernandez family has been crafting this extraordinary elixir in the face of adversity, their secret mobile distillery evading the watchful eyes of the authorities. In the dead of night, they would travel from village to village, distilling the essence of the Sierra Madre into every precious drop. Even when the army sought to put an end to their craft, the Fernandez family persevered, using bullet fragments to mend their shot-riddled still, a symbol of their unbreakable spirit. Today, we invite you to raise a glass to their unwavering dedication and savor the fruits of their labor.

PLANT SPECIES
The Surprising Dasylirion Wheeleri
Unlike its cousin, the agave, Sotol is crafted from the Dasylirion Wheeleri, a flowering plant that belongs to the Asparagus family. This unassuming desert dweller, with its slender leaves and towering flower stalks, holds within it the secret to Sotol’s unique flavor profile. Our skilled distillers coax out the plant’s hidden potential, creating a spirit that is as surprising as it is enchanting.

DISTILLER
Four Generations of Fernandez Mastery
At the helm of Sotol production are Bienvenido Fernandez and his grandson, Giovani, the latest in a long line of master distillers. Bienvenido, a fourth-generation Sotolero, learned the secrets of the trade from his father and grandfather, who operated a clandestine mobile distillery during the dark days of prohibition. With over 40 years of experience, Bienvenido’s expertise is unmatched, his passion evident in every sip of this exquisite spirit. Now, the Fernandez legacy continues, ensuring that the art of Sotol-making will endure for generations to come.

REGION
Madera, The Heart of Sotol Country
High in the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains, 6,500 feet above sea level, lies the town of Madera, the birthplace of our exceptional Sotol. This rugged, untamed landscape is where the Dasylirion Wheeleri plant thrives, its roots drawing strength from the rocky soil and its leaves embracing the sun-drenched sky.
