Nocheluna Sotol is crafted by fourth-generation Maestro Vinatero Don Eduardo Arrieta (Don Lalo) in collaboration with renowned Sotol expert Ricardo Pico and Master Distiller, Ivan Saldana. Our production process stays true to artisanal methods from harvest to distillation. Harvested from 100% wild Sotol, Nocheluna Sotol has a fresh taste balanced with minerality and herbal notes of citrus, cacao and mint. The liquid’s unique layers of flavors are formed over years in the wild - embodying the natural elements, resilient spirit, and vibrant culture that thrive there.
