Our History
Our History
Ever since we first tasted sotol, its flavor—sweet, herbal, and complex; like all things magical, difficult to describe—awakened our curiosity. We traveled to Chihuahua, the birthplace of this distilled spirit.
We discovered the mysticism surrounding its consumption, the Mexican land where it has been distilled for centuries, the pre-Hispanic legends that accompany its ingestion, and the starry sky that illuminates the desert nights. It was there that Dasyrium was born, whose name is derived from the dasylirion plant and the brightest star in the universe, Sirius.
The history of sotol is as ancient as the culture itself, as secretive and hidden as the legends. Distilling sotol is a pre-Hispanic art that is inevitably linked to our present. Sotol originates from a wild plant: it is the drink that chooses authenticity and mystery over domestication. Yes, sotol has tradition, but it is as free as those who take a sip.
