OUR COMMITMENT TO
A SUSTAINABLE SPIRIT

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT BEGINS WITH A GOVERNMENT-APPROVED FORESTRY STUDY THAT IDENTIFIES HECTARES SUITABLE FOR SUSTAINABLE HARVESTING—LIMITING EXTRACTION TO ABOUT 30% PER HECTARE. THESE GUIDELINES PROTECT THE DASYLIRION’S HABITAT, PROMOTE REGENERATION, AND OVERSEE BOTH HARVESTING AND TRANSPORTATION FROM FIELD TO DISTILLERY. THEIR DURATION ADAPTS TO OUR PACE OF EXTRACTION, ENSURING PRODUCTION REMAINS IN HARMONY WITH THE ENVIRONMENT.
PIONEERING THE FUTURE OF SOTOL
For over seven years, Sotol Hacienda has been nurturing a dedicated sotol plantation — not for mass production, but to protect the category and prepare for the future. We were the first in the industry to envision and execute a project of this scale, driven by deep respect for the plant and the land it calls home.
SCIENCE MEETS TRADITION
Led by our Master Distiller, Dr. Jose Daumas, this vision began in collaboration with local institutions to improve seed germination and develop in-vitro propagation techniques. Over the years, we’ve shared findings, exchanged best practices, and refined our approach, always with sustainability at the core.
A LIVING LEGACY
None of these plants are currently used for production. Instead, this is a living, carefully managed project designed to study, protect, and help regenerate wild sotol populations, ensuring the plant’s availability for generations to come.
OUR DESERT HEARTS
Every day, our dedicated field team tends to these young plants, our “desert hearts”, with the same care and respect we give to those harvested in the wild. It’s a commitment to the land, to our craft, and to the future of sotol.
