Producer Description

Steeped in the heritage and artisanship of the fabled Sotoleros of Chihuahua, Los Magos Sotol pays homage to the spirit of Mexico. After years in the wilderness, Northern Mexico’s mythical distillate is rightfully restored from taboo to top shelf. Made from native, wild harvested sotol plants; produced in the time honored tradition of generations of master Sotoleros; and revolutionized into an award-winning, modern spirit, Los Magos Sotol is a magical expression of the rich community and culture of Chihuahua. With each sip, Los Magos triple distilled, premium Sotol captures the inimitable terroir of the region, offering bright and complex notes reminiscent of its birthplace: the rolling hills, grasslands and desert of Northern Mexico. We created Los Magos as a celebration of Chihuahuan culture and to inspire the next generation of Mexican spirit lovers to gather, share memories with friends and make new ones filled with magic. Mechanized farming, natural resource extraction along with development of pipelines for its transportation have had a significant negative impact on the habitat in many areas of the Chihuahuan prairie and borderlands with Texas. This is why we are committed, not only to the sustainable practices of our business, but to the education on and better understanding of eco-friendly farming and industrial practices world-wide. We strictly adhere to governmental environmental impact assessment and licensing standards while adopting production practices that are sustainable environmentally, economically, and culturally. The beating heart of our products lies in ensuring much of the natural Chihuahuan habitat, which are home to the dasylirion, remain “un-cultivated”; protecting and preserving the ecological balance by never harvesting more than 40% of the available mature sotol plants and leaving a portion of the roots and leaves to ensure regeneration, by maintaining a healthy balance of space for new growth, managing water, reducing fuel that would exacerbate fires, undertaking seed recollection, seedling care, soil regeneration programs and continual reforestation work. These lands are also home to a plethora of indigenous flora and fauna whose lives are critical to the vitality of the land on which they subsist.
