Where ancient tradition meets indulgence, Melodias de la Luna Cacao Mezcal is a rare and captivating expression that weaves the smoky soul of mezcal together with the rich, earthy warmth of cacao.


Crafted in the storied tradition of artisanal Mexican mezcal production, this expression from Melodias de la Luna draws on time-honored distillation methods and the natural synergy between roasted agave and cacao, resulting in a spirit that feels both deeply rooted and genuinely singular.


  • Nose: Inviting aromas of dark chocolate and roasted agave rise from the glass, layered with subtle earthiness and a whisper of smoke.
  • Palate: Velvety and complex, with pronounced cacao richness balanced by the natural sweetness of cooked agave, touches of dried fruit, and a gentle mineral depth.
  • Finish: Long and warming, with lingering cocoa bitterness and a soft smoky fade that invites another sip.

Melodias de la Luna Cacao Mezcal shines in a Mezcal Negroni, where its chocolate undertones play beautifully against bitter aperitivo, or simply enjoyed neat alongside a square of dark chocolate for a pairing that feels almost destined.


Best savored neat or over a single large ice cube to let the cacao and agave character fully unfold. A distinctive and luxurious mezcal expression from Melodias de la Luna, crafted for those who seek something truly beyond the ordinary.

Las Melodías de la Luna was founded in 2022 by Jacqui Thompson and Ingrid Chavez, who share a love of music and agave and a Minnesota home base. Their mezcal is made in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca, by maestra mezcalera Rosario Ángeles. She left a career teaching languages and began making mezcal in 2020, despite her family's doubts. Every bottle is ancestral mezcal from 100% maguey, distilled in clay pots. The Espadín is clay pot distilled on its own, and the Cacao is Espadín distilled with cacao beans.
LOCATION

Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca

Santa Catarina Minas is a small town and municipality in the Ocotlán district, in the south of Oaxaca's Valles Centrales. It calls itself the cradle of mezcal, a title rooted in a mezcal and maguey culture traced back to the early Spanish colonial era. The town is best known for ancestral mezcal distilled in small clay pots rather than copper, which gives the spirit a soft, mineral character. Espadín is the mainstay, and producers also distill Arroqueño and wild karwinskii agaves such as Barril.
