La Luna Manso Sahuayo Mezcal
Born from wild Manso Sahuayo agave found only in the northwestern highlands of Michoacan, this expression from La Luna is a rare and radiant mezcal that delivers tropical brightness and a clean, artisanal character unlike anything from Oaxaca.
Crafted at Destiladora La Azucenas in the municipality of Etucuaro, Villa Madero, Michoacan, under the guidance of Maestro Mezcalero Edgar "Jigy" Perez and Hernan Hernandez Escot, this mezcal is made using wild fermentation and traditional copper and pine stills. The wild-harvested Manso Sahuayo agave is roasted for an extraordinary 121 hours, then rested for 144 hours after cooking, a patient process that unlocks layers of complexity while preserving the agave's naturally vibrant character.

- Palate: Pineapple mint agua fresca, eucalyptus, wild berries, green agave, pink peppercorn, and a hint of cinnamon
- Finish: Light on entry but with lasting warmth, tropical flavors evolve beautifully into a salt and smoke finish that lingers and rewards
La Luna Manso Sahuayo Mezcal is a natural in a Mezcal Paloma or a Spicy Mezcal Margarita, where its tropical brightness and gentle smoke play beautifully against citrus and heat. It is equally captivating poured neat for those who want to explore what Michoacan mezcal is truly capable of.
