Crafted from the rare Espadincillo agave native to Michoacan, this La Luna Mezcal is a genuinely singular spirit unlike anything produced in Oaxaca or beyond. Grown in the highland municipality of Zacapendo in Etuaro, Michoacan, the Espadincillo plant runs high in natural sugars and yields a mezcal that is grassy, bright, and unmistakably its own.


Master mezcaleros Isidro Perez Escot and Isidro Rodriguez Montoya produce this expression in the Zacapendo municipality of Michoacan using traditional methods passed down through generations, with apprentice mezcaleros training alongside them to carry the craft forward. The result is a small-batch mezcal that honors both the land and the people who have shaped it.


  • Nose: Earthy cooked agave, fresh mint, cut grass, and a whisper of tanned leather.
  • Palate: Sweet lemon and tropical fruit with a light smoke that stays well-balanced and bright throughout.
  • Finish: Sweet and crisp with a lingering hint of smoke that invites another sip.

The clean, citrus-forward character of La Luna Espadincillo makes it a natural fit for a Mezcal Margarita or a simple Mezcal Paloma, where its grassy brightness can shine without being overwhelmed.


Best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube to let the agave character fully open up. Made from the Espadincillo agave in Etuaro, Michoacan.

Produced in the verdant and mountainous regions of Michoacán, La Luna Mezcal highlights the craftsmanship of generations of family practices producing artisanal and ancestral mezcal. Michoacán is one of the most abundant states in Mexico, from the sandy coast to the peaks of the sierras, and is filled with tradition, culture, and history. Agaves, both wild, and semi-cultivated, grow at elevations over 2000 meters and are harvested under the full moon after reaching maturity. Piñas are roasted with estate sourced white oak in stone lined earthen pits and fermented in open-air wooden vats. La Luna uses traditional copper cazo and pinewood stills for Manso Sahuayo but also has vinatas using clay pot stills. Proprietor Salvador Chavez, born in Michoacán, and raised as a teenager in Sonoma, California, returned to his family’s heritage and began importing and producing mezcal in 2017. His family produces mezcal and local cheeses, and helps oversee operations. La Luna strives for strong human impact in Michoacán by contracting with family growers of agave and contracting with mezcaleros for the portfolio.
