Nocheluna Sotol Chihuahua
The Spirit of the Desert Moon
Embark on a sensory journey through the Chihuahuan Desert with Nocheluna Sotol. Crafted from the wild-harvested Dasylirion wheeleri, locally known as Sotol, this spirit embodies the unique terroir and ancient traditions of Chihuahua. Unlike agave-based spirits, Sotol offers a distinct profile born from a different desert succulent, taking approximately 10-15 years to mature. Nocheluna captures the essence of this remarkable plant and the rugged landscape it calls home.
Nocheluna embraces time-honored methods to transform the Sotol hearts into a captivating spirit. The piñas are traditionally roasted in underground ovens, imparting smoky depths. They are then milled, fermented naturally, and distilled to create a spirit that is both smooth and complex, reflecting the wild beauty of its origin.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The nose opens with a captivating blend of earthy and herbaceous notes, reminiscent of the arid desert landscape after a rain shower. Expect aromas of roasted desert plants, hints of pine and eucalyptus, and a subtle sweetness akin to cooked agave or wild honey. A whisper of smoke intertwines with a fresh, almost grassy undertone.
- Palate: The entry is smooth and slightly sweet, quickly revealing a complex interplay of flavors. Distinct vegetal notes of the Sotol plant dominate, offering a profile that is both savory and subtly sweet. Hints of minerality, reminiscent of desert stones, mingle with subtle notes of citrus zest (such as grapefruit or lime) and a delicate herbal complexity. A gentle smokiness provides a grounding depth without overpowering the other nuances.
- Finish: The finish is long and intriguing, with the earthy and herbaceous notes lingering alongside a refreshing dryness. A subtle sweetness returns, balanced by a persistent minerality and a final hint of the Sotol's unique vegetal character. It leaves a clean and evocative impression of the Chihuahuan Desert.
Nocheluna Sotol Chihuahua offers a distinct and captivating alternative to agave spirits. Its unique profile, born from the wild Sotol plant and traditional production methods, makes it a compelling choice for adventurous palates seeking to explore the diverse spirits of Mexico.
Sip neat to fully appreciate its nuanced flavors and the spirit of the desert moon.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
