Description

In Michoacán, La Luna works with Manso Sahuayo, an unclassified maguey also known locally as Manso, Chato or Cenizo. The agave is cultivated in Jiquilpan and Sahuayo. This handcrafted mezcal takes its identity from that plant and those two growing regions, keeping the local agave at the center of the story.

Earth and herbs lead the nose. Smoke recalls roasted agave, followed by wildflowers, citrus zest and a mineral note. The palate carries that smoke alongside gentle sweetness and earthy flavors. Black pepper and herbal notes sit beside ripe pineapple and green apple. A velvety texture brings the fruit and smoke together without losing their individual detail.

Pour neat into a traditional mezcal glass. Let it rest briefly, then take small sips. For a Mezcal Margarita, combine it with fresh lime juice and agave nectar.
