Born from wild agave harvested across the highlands of Michoacan, La Luna Bruto Mezcal is a rare expression of artisanal tradition rooted in the storied municipality of Etucuaro. Maestros Adan Perez and Edgar "Jigy" Perez coax extraordinary depth from agave that grows massive yet low in sugar, producing a spirit that is at once primal and refined.

Crafted at Destiladora La Azucenas in Villa Madero, this mezcal draws its character from wild agave sourced in the hills of Cotija, Ucasiro, and Patzcuaro. The agave is slow-cooked for 168 hours, rested for 288 hours, and fermented for 192 hours using pulque in a centuries-old tradition. Distillation through copper and pine stills preserves every layer of complexity this rugged terroir has to offer.

• Nose: Smoked leather, citrus zest, wet earth, and sage
• Palate: Butter and leather open into waves of smoke, black pepper, grilled stone fruits, pineapple, and bright herbs
• Finish: Long and full-bodied, the finish evolves beautifully over minutes, shifting from smoky and meaty to fruity and herbal

La Luna Bruto Mezcal shines in a Mezcal Negroni, where its smoky leather notes play beautifully against bitter vermouth, or in an Oaxacan Old Fashioned for those who want its wild agave complexity front and center.

Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the spirit open gradually. La Luna Bruto Mezcal is an artisanal mezcal made from wild agave in Etucuaro, Michoacan, Mexico.
