What even is Sotol? And how is it made? In this episode of Tasting Tequila with Brad, I sit down with Danny McKee, one of the four founders of Sol2Noches Sotol, to break down everything you need to know about this unique spirit from Chihuahua, Mexico.
We cover:
✅ What plant sotol comes from (hint: not agave)
✅ How it’s harvested, fermented, and distilled
✅ Why Sol2Noches is passionate about small-batch, additive-free production
✅ The flavor profile and how it compares to tequila and mezcal
If you’re curious about lesser-known Mexican spirits or want to expand beyond agave, this interview is a must-watch.
