Sotol Romo, a Mexican spirit made from 100% Dasylirion (sotol), launched during Super Bowl week in San Francisco, introducing what many describe as the third pillar of Mexican spirits: tequila, mezcal, and sotol.‍

‍Produced in Chihuahua, Mexico, and crafted as Sotol 100% Puro, Sotol Romo is made from 100% Dasylirion cedrosanum, a wild desert plant native to the Sierra Madre that takes 15–20 years to mature. During this slow growth, the plant develops its sugars naturally, requiring far less manipulation or correction after distillation and no additives.

The spirit is organic, sustainable, artisanal, kosher, and additive-free, crafted with just plant and water, resulting in a cleaner, leaner, and more precise profile.

“Sotol Romo is a treasure of the Sierra Madre,” Claudia Romo Edelman, Founder and CEO of Sotol Romo, a globally recognized marketer, mobilizer, and brand builder, said in a  news release. “It comes from a plant that survives where little else does and grows slowly under the harshest conditions. Like great wine or diamonds, the more challenging nature is, the more exceptional the result. I’m proud to introduce a pure, elegant spirit from northern Mexico to a global consumer who wants the best — and what comes next.”

The liquid profile was perfected by Richard Betts, one of the most respected figures in modern Mexican spirits. 

“Compared to mezcal, sotol is lighter, more elegant, and less smoky or forceful. It allows more space for subtle flavors and balance. Compared to tequila, it feels more aromatic and refined, with a clearer expression of the land. Mezcal was the dress rehearsal. Sotol can be bigger, faster,” Betts said.

The brand was unveiled in full on Friday, February 6.

“Sotol Romo is entering a burgeoning category experiencing rapid growth with a number of unfair advantages,” Joe Marchese, co-founder of Casa Komos Brands Group, said. “Beyond an exceptional liquid and a beautiful bottle inspired by the Sierra Madre, Sotol Romo has the infrastructure to scale, capital raised, and a built-in global network and marketing expertise to accelerate growth and become the category-defining expression of sotol.”

The Super Bowl — headlined this year by Bad Bunny — provided a powerful cultural moment for the launch, following early buzz generated in Davos, where Sotol Romo was poured daily among global CEOs and decision-makers. Sotol Romo also was served across multiple private events throughout Super Bowl Week.

Sotol Romo has a suggested retail price of $79 for Blanco and $89 for Reposado. Market intelligence estimates the global sotol market revenue at $1.2 billion, with expectations to triple by 2033 at a CAGR of 13.5% (Market Info).

Commercial market entry is planned for New York and Texas in Spring 2026.
