For many producers, making Sotol isn't just a trade — it’s their legacy they put into every bottle, their way of keeping the tradition alive.

Los Sotoleros, an upcoming documentary about Mexico's lesser known spirit, Sotol, and the legendary producers that have kept the tradition alive.

What is Sotol? It's not tequila, nor Mezcal. It's the spirit of Northern Mexico, derived from the Dasylirion plant that grows wild in the local deserts and mountains.
