Casa Lotos Sotol is a Mexican spirit made from the dasylirion plant, more commonly known as the “desert spoon” or sotol in Spanish. It is indigenous to the arid deserts and rocky slopes of Chihuahua, Mexico, taking approximately 15 years to mature. It is carefully harvested by hand in the wild and cooked in a brick oven, and then fermented in native pine and double-distilled in copper stills for exceptional flavor and clarity. The palate is marked by subtle notes of herbs and maple, with hints of pine, cucumber and green peppercorns on the nose.

Casa Lotos Sotol is artisinally crafted by the Ruelas family, fourth-generation master distillers native to Aldama, Chihuahua. During prohibition, Sotol emerged as the most popular Mexican “border” spirit and the Ruelas, its largest producer. Vincente Ruelas, the family’s patriarch and grandfather, was the region’s first distiller to legally obtain a permit to produce sotol in the 1930's. Today, the family continues its trade by combining traditional distilling methods with innovative, sustainable technology.
