Made in Aldama, Chihuahua, it honors tradition while drawing on scientific expertise, and its production stays true to artisanal methods from harvest to distillation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSotol is not an agave; it is distilled from Dasylirion and may only be made in Chihuahua, Coahuila and Durango. Nocheluna's wild plants are harvested after 12 to 15 years of growth, every one accounted for under a sustainability plan, and in 2019 the brand partnered with academics to establish the largest sotol cultivation field in Chihuahua. The hearts are cooked for 72 to 96 hours in an underground pit lined with river stones, fermented for a week in open-air wooden vats, and double distilled in direct-fire copper pots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNocheluna has a pronounced yet versatile profile: fresh minerality and light sweetness balanced by herbal tones, with notes of wild herbs, dried stone fruit, caramel and honey, deep minerality and oak firewood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat to explore the desert terroir, or use it in place of tequila or mezcal in a Paloma, a Margarita or a Negroni variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wild herbs, minerality, oak firewood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dried stone fruit, caramel, honey, herbal tones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mineral and lightly sweet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nocheluna, Aldama, Chihuahua\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaestro Vinatero:\u003c\/strong\u003e Don Eduardo \"Don Lalo\" Arrieta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% wild Dasylirion (sotol)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pit-roasted, open-air wood fermentation, double copper distillation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, or swap it for tequila in a Paloma or a Margarita.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs sotol a tequila?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it is distilled from the Dasylirion plant, not agave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho makes Nocheluna?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaestro Vinatero Don Lalo Arrieta with Ricardo Pico and Iván Saldaña.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWild herbs, stone fruit, honey and deep minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003eMezcal collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nocheluna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68039734591797,"sku":"VWS200425224","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-30322.webp?v=1793834975","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/nocheluna-sotol-blanco-700ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
