About Desert Door Sotol
Sotol is both the name of the distilled spirit and the plant that it’s made from – a resilient evergreen succulent that thrives in the rugged West Texas desert. With a rich 10,000-year history, Desert Door is bringing back this unique spirit while continuing to honor the deep-rooted traditions of sustainable foraging.
Wild-harvested, distilled & bottled right here in Texas resulting in a spirit that’s more flavorful than tequila and softer than mezcal. A true ranch-to-glass spirit that tastes unquestionably of the land with no added sugars, artificial flavors or colors. Smooth enough to sip straight or over ice and versatile enough to enjoy in your favorite cocktail.
