La Luna Mezcal Ensamble Azul + Chino 97.02

Two agaves shape this unaged mezcal from La Luna in Michoacán. Azul brings sweet roasted-agave and orchard-fruit notes. Chino contributes an earthier, more herbal character. Together, they form an ensamble rooted in the region's own mezcal traditions. The liquid is bottled at 48.5% ABV and remains clear in the glass.

The nose gathers roasted agave, green herbs, and citrus peel over wet-stone minerality. Smoke stays gentle. On the palate, cooked-agave sweetness and soft orchard fruit meet green pepper, earthy spice, and light brine. White pepper carries into the long, warming finish, where roasted sweetness and smoke linger together.

Sip at room temperature from a copita or small tumbler. Add a few drops of water to bring fruit and minerals forward. For a mixed drink, use it in an Oaxaca Old Fashioned or a Mezcal Negroni.
