Process & Production

Izo 2 Year Limited Edition Añejo Sotol begins with mature wild sotol plants harvested from the rugged landscapes of northern Mexico. The hearts are traditionally cooked, naturally fermented, and distilled to preserve the plant's distinctive earthy, herbal, and mineral-driven character.

Following distillation, the spirit is patiently matured for two years in oak barrels, allowing it to develop remarkable richness and complexity. The extended aging introduces layers of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and baking spice while maintaining the vibrant essence of the sotol, resulting in a beautifully balanced and sophisticated spirit.

Produced in limited quantities, each batch reflects a dedication to traditional craftsmanship and careful barrel selection.
