Distillation and production
Distillation and production
Production method
Sotoleros does not declare a proprietary process (as a brand/bottler): the project buys micro-lots from small local producers who adopt traditional methods such as harvesting wild plants, underground cooking or in traditional ovens, natural fermentations in wooden vats and distillations in small copper stills; many bottles are the result of double distillation carried out by the individual producers.
Distillation
Distillation in small copper stills (pot still) carried out by individual producers; frequently double distillation.
Ageing
Mainly unaged (joven); releases are mostly young micro-lots.
Producer history Sotoleros
Sotoleros was born as a project after the dissolution of the small cooperative brand Clande; the return to the field of co-founder Ricardo led to the creation of Sotoleros, whose first commercial presence was recorded in early 2021. The brand has established itself by selecting and exporting micro-lots produced by sotoleros and local masters from Chihuahua.
Production philosophy
To highlight the distillation traditions of northern Mexico by valorizing local producers and micro-lots, preserving artisanal methods and the territorial specificities of sotol and lechuguilla.
Territory
