OUR STORY

WHERE WE COME FROM

Started by Carlos Soto and Michael Arbanas and in the market by 2017, the idea of Nosotros was catalyzed by a college assignment, born from a passion for tequila. Our first expression, an unaged Blanco, put us on the map when it ultimately yielded “Best Tequila” at the world’s most respected spirits competition amongst many of the industry’s well-known brands.

 

We took our newfound credibility and funneled it into the craft-conscious California market. Originally without contacts in the liquor or dining industries, we’ve grown from a self-distributed underdog in uncharted territory to a climbing competitor on the ranks of cocktail menus and premium spirits lists in several states across the country. Today, we remain both independent and self-distributed with a team of 17 and several thousand retailers and hospitality partners.

NOSOTROS TOUCAN

The Nosotros Toucan represents our Costa Rican and Mexican roots and spirit,

with a special hint of California found in its wing.

Simply designed yet rich with the power of storytelling,

the Nosotros Toucan encompasses who we are and the stories that we have to tell.

HOW WE'LL GET THERE

QUALITY

Authentic craft and premium qualities are at the root of everything we do because quality over quantity never made more sense than while enjoying tequila.

BALANCE

Intentional duality celebrates that living well is just as important as living long. Our story, our lifestyle, and even our 50/50 agave harvest serve as emblems of that.

PURA VIDA

Live by the rules of the Costa Rican lifestyle — a peaceful, simple, and uncluttered life, with a deep appreciation for nature, friendship, and family; a real living that reflects happiness, gratitude, and satisfaction towards the daily experiences.

COMMUNITY

Consider our grassroots impact and leave people better than we found them, one encounter at a time.
