Product Description

NOCHELUNA IS A RARE AND WILD SPIRIT
Four-time Grammy Award Winner Lenny Kravitz has just entered the world of agave spirits with Nocheluna Sotol. Born from the Chihuahuan desert and harvested from the resilient Dasylirion plant, Nocheluna has a pronounced and versatile flavor profile. This exceptional spirit embodies fresh minerality and light sweetness balanced by herbal tones and notes of dried stone fruits and cacao.
The 100% artisanal process yields a dynamic liquid that can be enjoyed by all spirits lovers in a neat pour or in cocktails alike. The Sotol plant, a relative to the agave plant, is native to the desert and is extremely resilient. Its purity speaks without embellishment. The process of making the liquid is largely carried out out by nature itself, which makes the desert our lead craftsman.
Under the desert’s piercing sun and alluring moon, the act of making Nocheluna Sotol is a transformative distillation process. From plant to spirit, we respect the journey of evolution at every step of the way.
Nocheluna Sotol is produced by Don Eduardo Arrieta in Aldama, Chihuahua. “Sustainably managed” wild Dasylirion is harvested after 12-15 years of growth. Next, the plants are cooked in an underground pit lined with river stones. The cooked sotol is crushed using a mechanical shredder and naturally fermented for 5-10 days. Finally, it is double distilled in copper pots fueled by direct fire. According to the label, Nocheluna Sotol has notes of wild herbs, dried stone fruits, caramel and honey, deep minerality, and oak firewood.

What is SOTOL?
Sotol is a traditional distilled spirit made from the head of the Dasylirion plant, also known as "sereque" by the Raramuri people, native to the desert regions of northern Mexico, particularly in the states of Chihuahua, Durango, and Coahuila. Though the indigenous peoples of the area have been fermenting sotol for over 800 years, the modern distillation process was introduced by the Spanish during their colonization. In the early 20th century, sotol production became a major industry in the Chihuahuan desert, but was suppressed during the Mexican Revolution as the government sought to promote other alcoholic beverages like tequila and beer. Since 2002, sotol has been recognized with a designation of origin and regulated by the Official Mexican Standard NOM-159-SCFI-2004.
