Born from wild Manso Sahuayo agave found only in the northwestern highlands of Michoacan, this expression from La Luna is a rare and radiant mezcal that delivers tropical brightness and a clean, artisanal character unlike anything from Oaxaca.


Crafted at Destiladora La Azucenas in the municipality of Etucuaro, Villa Madero, Michoacan, under the guidance of Maestro Mezcalero Edgar "Jigy" Perez and Hernan Hernandez Escot, this mezcal is made using wild fermentation and traditional copper and pine stills. The wild-harvested Manso Sahuayo agave is roasted for an extraordinary 121 hours, then rested for 144 hours after cooking, a patient process that unlocks layers of complexity while preserving the agave's naturally vibrant character.


  • Nose: Ripe pear, tropical fruits, lemon peel, fresh strawberry, and a savory whisper of cotija cheese
  • Palate: Pineapple mint agua fresca, eucalyptus, wild berries, green agave, pink peppercorn, and a hint of cinnamon
  • Finish: Light on entry but with lasting warmth, tropical flavors evolve beautifully into a salt and smoke finish that lingers and rewards

La Luna Manso Sahuayo Mezcal is a natural in a Mezcal Paloma or a Spicy Mezcal Margarita, where its tropical brightness and gentle smoke play beautifully against citrus and heat. It is equally captivating poured neat for those who want to explore what Michoacan mezcal is truly capable of.


Best enjoyed neat or over a large rock to open up its aromas. A truly expressive agave spirit made from wild Manso Sahuayo agave in Etucuaro, 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.
