La Luna Mezcal Tequilana 750 ML: A Unique Expression of Blue Weber Agave
From Agave to Art: The Journey of La Luna Tequilana
La Luna Mezcal Tequilana transcends the traditional boundaries of spirit crafting by utilizing Blue Weber agave, a variety revered for its use in premium Tequila. This mezcal, however, is distinguished by its origin in Indaparapeo, Michoacan, where both standard and heirloom Criollo Blue Weber agaves are nurtured. The blend of these agaves, including the sugar-rich Criollo, ensures a mezcal with unmatched depth and flavor. The careful selection and cultivation process highlights La Luna's commitment to quality and innovation, making it a treasure for those who appreciate the nuances of agave spirits.
A Sensory Experience: Tasting Notes Unveiled
La Luna Mezcal Tequilana offers an olfactory and gustatory journey that is as unique as its heritage. The aroma is a captivating blend of cherry, sandalwood, citrus, and bubblegum, setting the stage for a tasting experience that is equally complex. Flavors of cacao, toasted marshmallow, and white pepper, with a light smokiness, make each sip a discovery. This mezcal is not just consumed; it is experienced, offering layers of flavor that invite connoisseurs to explore its rich tapestry with every glass.
Craftsmanship and Tradition: The Making of La Luna Tequilana
The creation of La Luna Mezcal Tequilana is a testament to the dedication and artistry of its makers. Cooking 8 tons of agave over 120 hours, including a mix of regular and heirloom Criollo Blue Weber, releases incredible aromas and imparts the mezcal with its distinctive taste. After cooking, the agave rests for 48 hours, followed by a 240-hour fermentation process. This meticulous attention to detail in the cooking, resting, and fermentation stages ensures a mezcal of exceptional quality, embodying the spirit of artisanal craftsmanship.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
