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.

• Nose: Clean and crisp with baking spices, dried fruits, and pine
