Sotol Hacienda de Chihuahua can be found now in many states: Texas and Colorado (I think these are their most important markets) but I’ve seen it in Nevada (Vegas at the Bellagio) and California (old Town in San Diego) as well, their website does explain quite clearly how is made. http://www.vinomex.com.mx/sotol.html

Sotol is made from the plant dassilyrion whelleri and not from agave tequilana weber. People in the Chihuahuan Desert make it artisanally, from New Mexico and Texas to Durango, Coahuila and Chihuahua State. Hispanic people in Texas call it mescalito and white cowboys sotol moonshine.

Yes, Don Cuco and Hacienda are in Las Cruces. Both are really good and mix well with anything. I first tried Hacienda about 4 years ago. I buy a bottle everytime I go to Chihuahua. I also started seeing Don Cuco by New Mexico State University. I understand that Hacienda and Don Cuco can be found in border towns. Also in Juarez and Chihuahua City

This is another Sotol that just came into the market in the United States that is worth mentioning (Don Cuco Sotol). This company does have a back label that has great information about the sotol. They are only in New Mexico hope they expand fast because their distilled spirit is great. http://www.doncucosotol.com
