Made in collaboration with Garrison Brothers, this distinctive sotol offers an authentic taste of the American Southwest with bold flavors that set it apart from traditional tequila and mezcal. Desert Door represents a pioneering spirit in American agave production, sustainably harvesting wild sotol plants from the rugged landscapes of West Texas. The brand has revived an ancient tradition, creating the first commercially produced sotol in Texas since Prohibition, and you can discover this exceptional spirit at pbexpressliquor.com alongside our curated selection of premium agave spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Driftwood Cowboy - made in collaboration with Garrison Brothers - comes darn close to perfect, so we've left well enough alone.
