Our vision is to bring the most exciting brands and categories to market while building inspiration and having a positive impact across the spirits community.

Welcome to Lot001

We are happy to have you here! We are lovers of Mexican spirits, importers of profound brands, and storytellers of incredible people.

At Lot001, we strive to curate a portfolio that represents the highest quality agave, sotol, caña, and maíz spirits made by the most extraordinary producers. These amazing liquids carry with them a historic, economic, creative, and cultural significance that we regard as much more than just bottles on a shelf. We experience their sensorial delights, we travel to places and back in time and we hear the voices of makers and their ancestors.

We listen, come and listen with us.

State

Michoacán

Preparation – Shake all of the ingredients until properly chilled and strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with an edible flower or a lime wheel.

Ron Pelacañas is a charismatic and flexible rum for all kinds of cocktails. This twist on the classic daiquiri is tropical, delicious, and easily adjustable to match your preferences. 

It’s also a perfect base for your own creativity. Add bitters or a liqueur. Try a seasonal syrup made with local ingredients. Swap out the Blanco for Pelacañas Llamarada. It’s hard to go wrong!

Salud!

The vinateros within Parejo all ferment with bagasso, as you can see here. This is typical to this region and to with many traditional producers who make sotol and agave spirits in rural areas. The fermentation vats used here are made of stainless steel, but other materials may be used as well. All of these characteristics can affect the flavor of the spirits we enjoy as a result!

The heart of Maíz Nation! 

NATIVE CORN, which was developed in Mesoamerican fields by Indigenous scientists about 6,500 years ago, has been coaxed and shepherded through 350 generations into the Twenty-first Century in harmony with the environment and humanity.  Along the way, it fueled the rise of several major civilizations. To this day, the cultivation of Native corn is an act of reverence that links present day farmers directly to their ancestors. Native corn is typically planted in milpas, or garden-parcels resembling small, forest-like ecosystems, where beans, squash and corn co-exist with edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms. In the milpa there are no chemicals used and the soil remains healthy and nitrogen-rich from harvest to harvest.  Native corn belongs to the people in the communities where it is cultivated and consumed. Native corn is sacred!
