Born on the high prairie of Nombre de Dios, Durango, Cardenxe Sotol de Pradera is a testament to what happens when ancient tradition meets forward-thinking craft. A new generation of brothers revitalized this storied distillery, powering the entire operation with solar energy while keeping every step of production resolutely artisanal.


Made from 100% Dasylirion Cedrosanum sotol harvested from the wild Durango pradera, this blanco is double distilled in copper alembics the old way, letting the land speak for itself. The result is a spirit that carries the distinct terroir of its high-altitude grassland home in every sip.


  • Nose: Toasted corn with a warm, rustic earthiness that evokes open fields at harvest time.
  • Palate: A beautifully layered Harvest at Dawn experience, with notes of dry hay, supple leather, and a gentle sweet earthiness that lingers on the tongue.
  • Finish: Long and nostalgic, with a whisper of burnt corn that fades like a warm memory.

Cardenxe Sotol de Pradera shines in a Sotol Mule, where ginger and lime lift its earthy grassland character, or try it in a Sotol Old Fashioned to let those leathery, smoky-sweet notes take center stage.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the aromatics open fully. A rare expression of 100% Dasylirion Cedrosanum sotol from Nombre de Dios, Durango.

Cardenxe co-founder Luigi Ambrosi first tasted sotol in Durango while working on a music project about canto cardenche, the a cappella folk song of northern Mexico that gives the brand its name. Each bottle comes from a different region and a different sotolero. Desierto is made in Aldama, Chihuahua from three wild Dasylirion species and double distilled in copper, Sierra comes from the mountain town of Madera and is all wheeleri, and Pradera is distilled from cedrosanum at a solar-powered distillery in Nombre de Dios, Durango. The labels draw on Estridentismo, a Mexican avant-garde art movement.

Nombre de Dios, Durango

Map of Durango, Mexico, with Nombre de Dios marked

Nombre de Dios sits in southern Durango, about an hour southeast of the state capital, at roughly 1,750 meters. Founded in 1562, it is considered the oldest town in northern Mexico and was named a Pueblo Mágico in 2018. The semi-arid plateau around it is home to wild Cenizo agave (Agave durangensis) and sotol, and Durango holds denominations of origin for both mezcal and sotol. Vinatas around town still roast agave in underground pits and ferment it in wood or stone.
