Unveiling the Essence of Tradition
A timeless tradition thrives in the heart of the hills east of Volcano Popocatépetl. Master mezcaleros have been using bull hides as fermentation vessels for centuries, and this is where the journey of Luneta Papalometl & Cimarron begins.
Bull Hide Alchemy: A Distinctive Fermentation
Unleash the Spirit of Nature
Abdias De La Luz Rodriguez, a man deeply rooted in his heritage, returned to Puebla after a transformative journey in the USA. He honed his skills as a gardener there, but his true calling lay in crafting liquid wisdom passed down by his aging father.
In the rugged hills of Puebla, Abdias employs the centuries-old technique of fermenting mezcal in bull hides. This process infuses each drop of Luneta Papalometl & Cimarron with a unique character, a blend of tradition and innovation that can only be experienced in this mezcal.
Wild Agave Elixir: The Essence of Cimarron
Time Travel in a Bottle
At the heart of Luneta Papalometl & Cimarron lies the soul of Cimarron agave (agave marmorata), a rare and precious variety that matures 20 to 25 years. Unlike many others, Abdias takes pride in cultivating this wild agave in his garden and fields, ensuring the purest essence in every sip.

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.
