Desert Spirits Made in Texas

The de Terra Collection Desert Spirit is Texas Sotol, grown and made 100% in Texas. The first batches of de Terra were made in 2015, and is the first domestically produced sotol, and first spirit to use the Dasylirion Texanum varietal. (Dasylirion Wheeleri is the traditional species used to make Chihuahuan Sotol.)

Harvested in Sanderson, TX, the plant hearts, or piñas, were pressure cooked, mashed with a handmade shredder, naturally fermented in 55 gallon plastic tinas and then double distilled in copper. The batches were the result of several years of study by Mike Groener, founder of Genius Liquids Distillery, and “a lot of support and unity across the agave community.”
