A NIGHT FOR ALL NIGHTS

In June, we celebrate the most anticipated time of the year for SEVENTY ONE — the Blooming and Harvest of the Queen of the Night cactus flower. One night a year, when at its pinnacle, Selenicereus Grandiflorus blooms ephemeral before delicate hand-harvesting & individual distillation to achieve its absolute. A thrilling moment of precision and perfection.

“ YES, I AM A DREAMER.
FOR A DREAMER
IS ONE WHO CAN
ONLY FIND HIS WAY
BY MOONLIGHT. ”
- Oscar Wilde

THE RAREST BOTANICAL ABSOLUTE

Cultivating the Queen of the Night is an art. One that requires passion and patience. The true Selenicereus Grandiflorus, or Queen of the Night, is stunning proof of how a plant has evolved to synchronize its flowering with the dark hours. Guided by nature’s nocturnal cues, this night-bloomer unfolds its petals, infusing an irresistibly seductive fragrance. Harvesting is also exquisitely precise: hand-gathered at the zenith of darkness, when its fragrance is at its pinnacle.

“ I AM OBSESSED WITH
MASTERFUL CREATIONS
THAT HOLD A SENSE OF THE
STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL.”
- Mert Alas

PRECISION AND PERFECTION

As the last step in the creation of SEVENTY ONE, its absolute is extracted at the one fleeting moment every year, sharing the climax of its magnificence. Conceived by the Gods to ignite the night. A rare floral phenomenon known for its intensely seductive scent. Rare & Bold. Married with Jumbo Juniper, the Queen of the Night expands its taste profile. Surrounding the notes of pine to create an unforgettable composition for a delicate yet lasting taste of fiery, creamy vanilla and buttery tonka bean. And when this uniquely precious absolute is introduced to SEVENTY ONE’s other sophisticated botanicals, and rested together in casks of oak, the liquid turns to gold… Mysteriously complex, dramatically smooth, to be enjoyed naked, on the rocks.
