Born from the wild desert grasslands of Durango, Senor Sotol Ensamble Artesanal is a rare expression of Mexico's most untamed spirit, crafted by hand using time-honored artesanal methods passed down through generations of Chihuahuan Desert communities. This ensamble brings together multiple wild-harvested Dasylirion plants to create a sotol of uncommon complexity and regional character.


Sourced from the rugged highlands of Durango, one of the three Mexican states where sotol production is officially recognized, this artesanal expression honors the full lifecycle of the desert spoon plant, which can take 15 years or more to mature before harvest. Small-batch production, traditional roasting, and open-air fermentation give this Senor Sotol release its signature wild, terroir-driven personality that sets it apart from any agave-based spirit.


  • Nose: Earthy and herbaceous with hints of roasted desert flora, dry stone, and a whisper of smoke rising from the wild highlands of Durango
  • Palate: The ensamble character reveals itself in waves of green vegetation, mineral clay, dried citrus peel, and a subtle savory depth that speaks to its multi-plant composition
  • Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of toasted wood, dry earth, and the clean, arid freshness of the Durango landscape

Senor Sotol Ensamble Artesanal shines served neat or over a large ice cube, allowing the layered ensamble complexity to fully open up. For cocktail lovers, it brings a stunning depth to a Desert Highball with grapefruit soda and a salted rim, or elevates a Sotol Sour with fresh lime and agave nectar.


Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to honor its artesanal roots. Dasylirion ensamble, Durango, Mexico.

Master Distiller: Juan Manuel Conde
Señor Sotol is made by maestro sotolero Juan Manuel Conde at an old hacienda in San Nicolás de Acevedo, high in the Durango mountains near Nombre de Dios. Wild Dasylirion is harvested by axe, cooked in underground pits lined with volcanic rock, and fermented naturally with mountain spring water. The Ensamble is double distilled in small copper stills, while the Ancestral runs through clay pots with a Filipino style wooden top. The name honors a legendary smuggler who carried sotol across northern Mexico until it was legalized in 1991, and the labels are made from agave waste.
LOCATION

San Nicolás de Acevedo, Durango

San Nicolás de Acevedo is a small village in the mountains of southern Durango, about an hour from the town of Nombre de Dios. It grew up around an old colonial hacienda, and wild sotol and agave grow on the hills and ejidos around it. Spirits here are still cooked in underground pits and fermented with spring water from the mountains. Durango is part of the denominations of origin for both mezcal and sotol.
