“Hacienda de Chihuahua, a family-owned distillery in northern Mexico, has played a pivotal role in reviving Sotol, a traditional spirit crafted from the wild-growing Dasylirion plant. Certified organic, the distillery emphasizes sustainable harvesting and innovative techniques like steam-cooking and champagne yeast fermentation. Their Reposado Sotol, aged in French oak barrels, highlights the spirit’s complexity with rich caramel and vanilla notes layered over earthy, herbal undertones, embodying the rugged character of the Chihuahuan Desert.”
“Hacienda de Chihuahua has been instrumental in expanding the presence of Sotol beyond Mexico. The United States, particularly Texas, has become a key market, with tastings and promotions held in cities like Austin, Houston, and Dallas.
The brand is also making inroads in Europe and Asia, with recent exports to countries like Spain, Taiwan, and China.”
“Hacienda de Chihuahua is a trailblazer in the sotol category as the first brand to export sotol internationally, and one of the best ways to get familiar with the spirit if you don’t have any trips to Mexico planned for anytime soon.”
“The company is a family-owned and -operated Sotol that is already sold in 22 US states and many countries. It has earned multiple internationally-recognized certifications, such as USDA certified organic, IMOcert and Kosher certification to name a few.”
