108 Moons

A California Agave Spirit

Born from the sun-drenched hillsides of Malibu. Grown in patience. Distilled with intention. Named for the moons it takes for the agave to reach its full potential.

Why 108 Moons?

We didn't choose the number.
The agave did.

One hundred and eight full moons. That is precisely how long our agave grows beneath the California sky before it is ready to become something extraordinary.

"108 is among the most sacred numbers in Hindu, Buddhist, and yogic tradition — appearing in ancient astronomy, sacred architecture, and the very rhythms of the cosmos."

We planted one hundred and eight agave plants on ten acres of Malibu hillside in 2025 — one moon for every plant, one plant for every moon. In 2026 we planted one hundred and eight more. Every year that follows, another one hundred and eight plants take root in Malibu soil. A living, growing estate that expands with the same rhythm as the number that named it.

Our Story

Ten acres. Ten varieties.
One unwavering vision.

The Land

Ten acres of Malibu hillside, where the Pacific air meets California sun and coastal mineral-rich soil. One hundred and eight agave plants — each one a promise of what this land will one day produce.

The Patience

There are no shortcuts with agave. Each plant stores a lifetime of California sun, coastal air, and terroir before yielding what will become 108 Moons. We are building something worthy of the wait.

The Craft

Traditional soul, modern precision. Stone horno roasting. Wild yeast fermentation. Copper pot stills. Double distilled to 46–48% ABV. Non-chill filtered. Every decision made in service of smoothness and complexity.

The Vision

We source the world's finest agave while our Malibu estate matures. When our 108 plants reach their full potential, 108 Moons becomes fully estate-grown — a California agave spirit unlike anything that has come before.

The Agave

Ten varieties. Five expressions.
One estate.

Espadín
Agave angustifolia

The soul of our founding expression. Herbaceous, approachable, and deeply rooted in agave spirit tradition. Clean, reliable, and the backbone of the entire 108 Moons portfolio.

Tier I — Equinox · Foundation
Weber Azul
Agave tequilana

The world's most recognized agave, now growing in Malibu. Its natural sweetness, vanilla notes, and silky mouthfeel make it our most powerful ally in the pursuit of an exceptionally smooth spirit.

Tier II — Solstice · Smoothness
Salmiana
Agave salmiana

Native to the highlands of San Luis Potosí. One of the most naturally smooth agaves on earth — honey-like sweetness, creamy texture, and a mouthfeel unlike anything else in the agave world.

Tier II–V · Honey Cream Smoothness
Sierra Negra
Agave Sierra Negra

A giant of the Puebla highlands. Extraordinarily high sugar content produces a rich, full-bodied spirit with caramel depth and a long, smooth finish. Rare in American craft production — a genuine differentiator.

Tier V — Blood Moon · Body & Richness
Tobalá
Agave potatorum

Among the most coveted agaves in the world. Floral, ethereal, and breathtakingly complex — its aromatics elevate any blend into something genuinely extraordinary. Our ultra-premium prestige expression.

Tier IV–V — Eclipse & Blood Moon
Cuishe
Agave karwinskii

The sophistication agent. Cuishe's natural mineral dryness gives our smooth blends length and elegance — preventing sweetness from becoming one-dimensional and turning a good blend into a great one.

Tier III–V — Zenith through Blood Moon
Arroqueño
Agave americana var. oaxacensis

The Oaxacan prestige variety of Americana. Bold dark fruit, chocolate undertones, and a rich complexity that anchors the Blood Moon blend with extraordinary depth. Highly regarded among serious mezcal collectors.

Tier V — Blood Moon · Dark Fruit Depth
Inaequidens
Agave inaequidens

A wild highland agave from Michoacán with an unusually fruit-forward character — tropical fruit, pear, light citrus, and floral mid-palate. Exceptionally smooth for a wild variety. Virtually unseen in American craft spirits.

Tier V — Blood Moon · Fruit & Floral Lift
Americana
Agave americana

A California landscape icon for centuries, now cultivated with intention on our Malibu hillside. Bold, punchy, and deeply agave-forward. Our established plants are already producing pups — the estate is alive and self-sustaining.

Complexity & California Provenance
Marmorata
Agave marmorata

The crown jewel. Three plants of one of the world's rarest agaves — native to the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán valley, maturing over two decades. At 2% in the Blood Moon blend it is a whisper of wild complexity that the most discerning palates will sense but never quite name.

Tier V — Blood Moon · The Crown Jewel

The Blends

Crafted for smoothness.
Named for the sky.

Every blend decision begins with one question: does this make it smoother? Each expression is a celestial moment — arriving on its own timeline, carrying its own character, united by the pursuit of the most elegant agave spirit possible.

The Journey

From Mexico to Malibu.
The transparent path.

Now — Years 1–3
The Founding — California Distilled

Premium agave sourced from established Mexican producers — espadín, Weber Azul, and Cuishe — imported and distilled by our California partner distillery. The brand is born. The story begins. Label: California Distilled Agave Spirit.

Years 4–5
The Blend — California Grows

California-grown agave enters the blend as local supply matures alongside our Mexican sourcing. The Malibu estate agave approaches its first assessment. The Eclipse expression launches.

Year 6
First Harvest — Malibu Agave

Our Malibu Espadín and Weber Azul reach maturity after 108 full moons. The first estate-grown California agave spirit is produced. Blood Moon debuts. The label changes to read: Estate Grown, Malibu California.

Year 7 and Beyond
The Vision Realized — Fully Estate

108 Moons becomes fully estate-grown. Every drop distilled from agave grown on our ten Malibu acres. The 108 moon cycle is complete. The story has come full circle — exactly as the agave intended.
