Description
A collaboration of experts led to the creation and amplification of a Sotol that honours tradition and utilizes scientific expertise.
This partnership is the result of a unique collaboration between Chihuahuan-born experts that include Maestro Vinatero Don Lalo Arrieta and renowned Sotol expert Ricardo Pico, along with Mexico native Master Distiller Ivn Saldaa.
Sotol is a Mexican spirit distilled from plants fromDasyliriongenus. Sotol sometimes gets put in the mezcal category, but it’s made from different plants (mezcals are made with agave) so it’s technically distinct. Nocheluna Sotol was co-founded by a certain Lenny Kravitz, and it’s made using wild-harvestedDasylirionfrom the Chihuahuan desert which is cooked in underground pits. The cooked plants are slowly fermented over 5-10 days before being double distilled.
Tasting Notes
If you’ve never tried sotol before, it has a similar profile to a not-too-smoky mezcal, and this one is a great example, full of aromatic herbal notes like eucalyptus and mint, along with a savoury, mineral edge and some ripe fruit. The Chihuahuan desert is key to the final tasting notes.
