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.

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!
Good vibes only at The Double Club in New Orleans. This newly opened, mult-concept bar will be your next favorite place in the French Quarter. They also hosted us and @verna_nashville for an incredible pop up event in November. Much love to these folks.
This cocktail featured Mi Casa Blanco, fino sherry, bell pepper cordial, Bitter Queens Thai Spice Bitters, and soda. Recipe by @beau_gaultier, DM us for the detailed specs!

Tools of the trade in northern Mexico where Sotol Parejo hails from. Wild plants are harvested by hand, one by one, before being transported back to the vinatas for cooking, fermentation, and distillation. @sotolparejo

One of our favorite cocktails from a recent series of pop ups we held with @verna_nashville. @beau_gaultier and @cameroonski_ created this old fashioned riff using @mi_casa_single_estate_tequila and @maiznation. It’s delicate and complex, a beautiful combination of tequila and whiskey.
1oz Whiskey Maíz Nation Blanco
1oz Tequila Mi Casa Blanco
.25oz Salted Bay Leaf Simple
2dash @elguapobitters Crawfish Boil Bitters
*To make the bay leaf simple - combine 500g water and 500g sugar with 10 bay leaves. Slowly bring to a simmer and remove from heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Let steep for at least 15 minutes.

Juan Ramón Barba is the barrel house at Hacienda El Carmen, where Ron Pelacañas is made. Juan is responsible for the daily operations of the distillery, and helps keep many other things running smoothly at the Hacienda. Our hats are off to him!

Maíz Nation Blanco drinks like a maíz eau-de-vie. With notes of toasted corn, golden raisins, and marzipan, it’s the best unaged whiskey we’ve ever tasted. It mixes nicely too! Try it in a martini with blanc vermouth. @maiznation

This is a traditional olotera, which is used to remove the kernels from the cob of corn. It is made from the cobs themselves - a certain `prehispanic sheller.` It can come in different sizes, but this one was beautifully crafted with different colors as a gift to celebrate the creation of Maíz Nation!

A young sotol in its natural habitat! It usually takes around 15 years until the vinateros in Chihuahua consider it to have reached maturity. So - this sotol has a potentially long life ahead of it. In that time, it could flower and reproduce more than once - a very interesting difference between these plants and agave.

In this area outside of Mitla, Oaxaca, there are several beautiful caves. They are considered the oldest proof of the domestication of plants (aka agriculture) on the continent. And certainly it is the oldest proof of the cultivation of corn found to date. This is the birthplace of corn as we know it!
