The Dollar Sale, which began over ten years ago, was created as a way to say thank you to all Twin Liquors customers and the team is excited to bring back the sale to the community. To celebrate the kick-off of the annual three-day sale, all Marketplace locations will be offering free breakfast tacos and Deep Eddy Bloody Marys on February 23 beginning at 10a.m. until supplies last. The Dollar Sale will take place at all 100+ Twin Liquors locations, and will include Sigel’s locations across Dallas.

The Dollar Sale will take place at all 100+ Twin Liquors locations plus the Sigel’s locations in Dallas. To locate the store nearest you, visit Twin Liquors and Dallas online.  

Born and raised in downtown Austin, Texas, Twin Liquors began as one small store and has developed into a successful “home-grown” family-owned company. Twin Liquors has a unique and well known reputation throughout the United States for having impeccable team members, outstanding customer service, conveniently located stores, extensive selections of fine wines and premium spirits from around the world, and substantial community involvement. There are currently 100+ neighborhood stores from Austin to San Antonio, the Hill Country to Houston, and the DFW area with their Sigel’s branded stores.

Desert Door, a craft distiller of Texas sotol and distillery based in Driftwood, Texas, is excited to announce that it is now available for purchase online through Speakeasy Co. The spirit just celebrated its first successful year in business and recently expanded its distribution to bars, restaurants and retail stores in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas and beyond. Given the brand’s continued growth and heightened demand, the launch of e-commerce was a natural progression for Desert Door. This new endeavor with Speakeasy Co. will give consumers across the country access to the unique spirit while the brand continues developing its operations and physical distribution in Texas.

After a well-received debut in the Austin and San Antonio markets last fall and winter and a recent expansion into the Dallas and Houston markets and counting, Desert Door is carrying the momentum forward through the addition of this e-commerce platform that provides national shipping to 41 states. It is not currently available for other countries, PO Boxes, Alabama, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Mississippi, North Dakota, Utah, Alaska, or Hawaii. Desert Door will start by selling its Original Desert Door Texas Sotol priced at $55.99 per 750 ml bottle online, with plans to add its 100-proof Desert Door Oak-Aged Texas Sotol variation to the e-commerce platform down the line when supply allows.

Desert Door is produced from the West Texas-grown evergreen sotol plant (Dasylirion texanum) and is currently the only domestically produced sotol on the market. There are two types of Desert Door: Original Desert Door Texas Sotol, a versatile and complex spirit that is organic, low calorie, and perfect for cocktails, and the 100-proof Desert Door Oak-Aged Texas Sotol, an ultra-premium sipping spirit aged in new American oak barrels.

Desert Door was founded in November 2017 by Texans Judson Kauffman, Ryan Campbell and Brent Looby. The founders are all former service members of the United States military and met while attending The University of Texas McCombs School of Business, where an elective course on entrepreneurship planted the seed that would lead to the group developing the only sotol distillery in the nation.
