La Luna Mezcal

 


La Luna Mezcal Manso Sahuayo...$77.99 / 750ml
Produced from an unspecified scientific agave grown in the Jiquilpan and Sahuayo region. Locally it is also known as “Cenizo”, due to the color of the leaves, but the CRM recognizes it as Manso Sahuayo. This has been mentioned as the favorite of mezcal fans.

La Luna Mezcal Cupreata...$36.99 / 750ml
This agave is cultivated and wild for this expression. We roast 90 hours under ground, straight into maceration and fermentation, ferment 120 hours, and proceed to double distill.
