Sotol 1709 "Chihuahua Desierto"
The Primal Heart of Northern Mexico
Sotol 1709 is more than a spirit; it is a liquid history book that defies the boundaries of traditional agave spirits. While tequila offers a familiar path, Sotol 1709 takes you into the wild, unmapped territory of the Chihuahuan desert.
Named in honor of the year the Spanish first documented the distillation of the Dasylirion plant, this brand bridges ancient indigenous traditions and modern craft. Sourced from naturally grown plants in the arid plains of Jiménez and the high-altitude forests of Madera, it captures the dual soul of Chihuahua—the burning desert and the cool mountain peaks.
The Soul of "Handcrafted"
Sotol 1709 is defined by a refusal to take shortcuts. Every bottle is the result of a meticulous, historical fermentation process that honors the plant’s 15–20-year growth cycle.
- The Sourcing: Only wild-grown Dasylirion plants are selected, ensuring the spirit carries the rugged mineral nutrients of the Chihuahuan soil.
- The Fermentation: A slow, natural transformation that allows the complex sugars of the desert spoon to evolve into a deep, multi-layered profile.
- The Craft: Distilled in small batches to preserve the "Spirit of 1709"—a time when whiskey and mezcal were yet to dominate, and Sotol was the king of the northern frontier.
Tasting Notes: A Journey of the Senses
- Nose: Earthy and floral; evocative notes of wet clay and sun-dried tobacco leaf.
- Palate: A bold, rustic entrance. Vibrant hibiscus flower acidity blends with the savory heat of Java pepper.
- Body: Lean and clean, showcasing the raw power of the desert spoon without heavy additives.
- Finish: A distinctively smoky finish that lingers with a dry, mineral crispness.
Why Experience Sotol 1709?
- Beyond Tequila: For the enthusiast who has mastered Mezcal and Tequila, Sotol 1709 offers a completely different botanical profile, wilder, earthier, and more mysterious.
- A Versatile Legend: While it shines neat, its pepper and hibiscus notes make it an incredible base for a "Desert Paloma" or a spicy, savory Mule.
- Authenticity: This is a spirit for those who value the "Handcrafted" label; a drink that prioritizes historical accuracy over mass production."
To sip Sotol 1709 is to taste the Chihuahuan landscape itself: smoke, stone, and wild bloom."

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
