La Luna Cupreata Mezcal - 750ml

La Luna Mezcal is crafted from agave Cupreata grown in Etúcuaro, Michoacán, a region renowned for its rich mezcal heritage and home to several esteemed Michoacán producers. Set at an elevation of 1,790 meters, the Cupreata agave plants are patiently harvested after eight to ten years of growth, allowing the sugars and flavors to fully mature. The agave piñas are then fire-roasted in a stone-lined horno, using estate-sourced white oak to impart a nuanced smoky character and woody undertones that are signature to this style. After roasting, the cooked agave is milled by hand and slowly fermented in open-air wooden vats, a traditional method that encourages a depth of aroma and a natural range of fermentation flavors.

The fermented mash is double distilled in a copper still that is paired with pinewood components, a Tarascan-crafted apparatus that contributes a unique resinous and mineral note to the final spirit. Because of the artisanal nature of this mezcal, the ABV can vary by batch, reflecting the hand-made, small-batch production process rather than a uniform industrial standard. La Luna Mezcal embodies the terroir of its origin—high-altitude agave, wood-fired roasting, and patient, small-batch distillation—delivering a complex profile with a balanced interplay of smoke, fruit, and mineral nuances that invite contemplation with each sip.
