A celebration in a bottle, La Luna Ponche Navideno Mezcal is a limited holiday expression that recreates the beloved Mexican Christmas punch tradition in spirit form. Distilled with apples, guayaba, cranberries, dried cherries, tejocote, tamarind, piloncillo, and cinnamon, this is one of the most festive and distinctive mezcals released each year.


Crafted by Master Distiller Isidro Perez Escot in Etucuaro, Michoacan, this small-batch release is built on an Espandincillo agave base distilled alongside cane sugar and a full roster of traditional ponche ingredients. Artisanal production methods drive every step, from wild fermentation to distillation in traditional copper and pine stills. La Luna is also committed to the future of mezcal, with apprentice mezcaleros learning alongside master craftsmen to carry these traditions forward.

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.
