About 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.
About Mezcal Chino
Maguey Chino is identified as Agave cupreata (also known regionally as “papalote” or “papalome”) and grows wild at high altitudes in the harsh, mountainous terrain of Michoacán, Mexico. Because its growth environment is challenging and its core tends toward lower water content, mezcal made from maguey Chino often features clean mineral depth, with subtle vegetal, herbal and green-leaf notes that reflect its rugged origins.
