DESERT CHIHUAHUA DISTILLERY

Sotol takes its name from the Nahuatl word "Tzotolin", which means "palm tree". Sotol is a unique product that has been protected by a designation of origin since 2002. The production of Sotol is an art that requires great expertise and know-how. Nocheluna is produced in collaboration with the fourth generation Maestro Vinatero, Don Eduardo Arrieta (Don Lalo), who has an exceptional knowledge of the different Sotol varieties. He is joined by Master Distiller Iván Saldaña, who brings his expertise in the distillation of Mexican spirits. Together they create an exceptional spirit that captures the essence of the Mexican desert.
