Are you ready to take your love for tequila and mezcal to the next level? Passport Destilados is proud to announce the expansion of our portfolio with a brand new addition: sotol! As the demand for agave-based spirits continues to rise, we're tapping into this growing market by offering a new take on Mexican distilled spirits.
Dive into the Rich History of Sotol
Sotol has a shared history with tequila and mezcal, dating back to the ancient Paquime people of the Chihuahuan desert. Made from different varieties of the Dasylirion plant, sotol is a succulent that flowers multiple times and is produced in the states of Chihuahua, Durango, Coahuila and now also in Texas. In 2002, sotol was awarded Designation of Origin status, which recognizes its unique and authentic production methods.
Partnering with a Pioneering Producer
We're thrilled to be partnering with Jovanny Ortega, producer of Riablo Sotol, to bring you this exciting new spirit. Riablo Sotol Piña Brava is a pineapple and chiltepin pepper infused spirit that's catching the attention of consumers and retailers alike. With its unique and delicious flavor profile, it's no wonder that sotol is fast becoming a sought-after alternative to traditional agave spirits.

At Passport Destilados, we're passionate about the stories behind each brand we distribute. We're dedicated to highlighting the sustainability stories and the impact of local terroir of each product we bring to market.
