Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

According to public sources, production follows traditional methods: cooking the Dasylirion 'piñas' in underground ovens, natural fermentation in wooden vats (pine) and subsequent distillation in stills (copper). Some expressions are then subjected to short aging in barrels.

Distillation

Distillation in traditional copper stills, often double distillation.

Ageing

Some expressions are briefly aged in wooden barrels (e.g. reposado ~4 months, añejo ~2 years according to journalistic sources) and occasionally specific aging/experimental methods are used (bottles buried underground).

Producer history Oro de Coyame

No official sources document a precise founding date. Journalistic and industry sources report that production is linked to the Ruelas family and master sotolero Gerardo Ruelas (operating in Aldama, Chihuahua); the brand is also registered with an application in the name of Gerardo Ruelas Hernandez.

Production philosophy

Public descriptions indicate an approach that values artisanal methods and the terroir of Chihuahua, using wild Dasylirion plants and experimenting with special and aged releases.

Territory

State of Chihuahua (Chihuahuan Desert), Mexico; area associated with Aldama / Coyame del Sotol.
