Description

Michoacán is both the home of La Luna Espadincillo and the native region of its agave. The producer uses Espadincillo exclusively, a sugar-rich variety distinct from Espadín. Made in the Indaparapeo area, this mezcal keeps that regional agave at the center of its identity. It is bottled at 48.51% ABV.

The nose recalls fresh grass, with mint adding an herbal accent. A light sweetness sits behind those green aromas. On the palate, agave sweetness meets a refreshing mint note. Subtle earthiness gives the sweeter elements a counterpoint. The combination is clean and direct, moving between grassy, minty and earthy flavors without losing the agave character.

Serve a small pour neat in a copita or traditional mezcal glass. Give it a moment to breathe, then sip slowly.

Hints of mint add a subtle herbal complexity, while a gentle sweetness lingers in the background.

Taking a sip, you'll discover its clean and refreshing character. The initial taste reveals the vibrant essence of the Espadincillo agave, with its naturally high sugar content.
