About this mezcal
La Luna Tequilana is made with Blue Weber agave, which are more commonly known for their use in Tequila. The agave Tequilana used in this mezcal were farmed and cultivated in Indaparapeo, Michoacan. For lot 2 of this mezcal, the producers cooked an 8 ton batch of agave: 4 tons were regular agave Blue Weber and 4 tons were heirloom Criollo Blue Weber, which are smaller with more sugar and flavor than their bigger counterparts. The agave cooked for 168 hours, rested for 144 hours after cooking, and fermented for 288 hours.
La Luna Mezcal
La Luna Mezcal is made in Etucuaro, Michoacan. Tucked away in this mountainous region is the municipality of Villa Madero, which is the home to the Perez Escot family and Destiladora Las Azucenas. The family has been traditionally crafting mezcal on the same property since 1910 and is currently on their 4th generation of mezcaleros with Isidro Perez Escot training his son Amador at the moment.

48.51% ABV
Warming initial nasal impact.
Lots of tropical fruit and new sneakers on the aroma. Some vanilla follows.
Slight alcohol heat with an oily mouth feel.
Vanilla bean ice cream, white dust from baseball card bubble gum and tropical fruit lead on the flavor. Medium finish with sufficient alcohol with little to no “smoke”, but clay notes develop late.
My first round with this tequilana wasn’t very rewarding, so I didn’t review at the time. It definitely grew on me. Quite enjoyable

Palate – Black pepper heat that I find with some good blanco tequilas that I like. Guava. Finish is a tad chalky but only for an instant then morphs to clay. A quality tobacco leaf aftertaste.
Mezcalero/mezcaleras sure can work magic with Blue Agave.

Green & sharp smell. Little sour on taste with a slight burn. Taste has some candy, fruit, more green – very pleasant. Slight burn though, but overall very enjoyable! And agree with others – if only tequila could taste like this!

2 reviewsLot 21. I had a pour of this in a restaurant and promptly bought a bottle for myself. It’s wondrous. The first impression is like tequila, but the best smooth and gentle tequila around. The scent is woody and mossy. The scent gets softer the more you smell it. The taste is so good, changing every 2 seconds in your mouth – bold then a little sour then green then smooth then ends in airy niceness. Quite bold and quite gentle at the same time.
