Origin Story
Desert Door Texas Sotol was born in the West Texas desert, where our founders first encountered the Sotol plant - a spiky desert succulent that, hundreds of years ago, was used by Indigenous residents for everything from tools and food to fermented drink.
Wild Harvested
“Sotol” is both the name of our spirit and the plant we make it from. We wild-harvest all our sotol on ranches across Texas; we don’t farm or cultivate any of our sotol stock. Wild-harvesting is a much more sustainable practice than monocropping and helps conserve valuable resources such as land and water.
Tasting Notes
Our Oak-Aged Texas Sotol is the result of aging our Original Texas Sotol in virgin White Oak barrels for approximately one year. On the nose, our Oak Aged is akin to a young whiskey, with pleasing notes of vanilla, cedar and caramel. Sipping reveals more vanilla, along with dried cherries and oak. The finish brings back caramel and a creamy smoothness like vanilla custard, with just a hint of eucalyptus.
