Like a séance gone wrong, our plan to summon Mexico’s finest reposado tequila was interrupted by an unseen force—trade tension and international gridlock. With delays pushing our tequila launch into unknown territory, we had a choice: wait and pray… or embrace the unknown.

So, we pivoted. Instead of leaving our signature Macabre Spirits bottles empty, we filled them with something even more mysterious: sotol. Born from the wild deserts of Northern Mexico and Texas, sotol is an untamed, earthy spirit with a history as ghostly as the legends that surround it. If we couldn’t bring tequila across the border, we would conjure up something just as rare, just as haunting, and maybe even a little more rebellious.
