Melodias de la Luna Espadin Mezcal is a soulful expression of traditional Oaxacan craft, capturing the wild, smoky heart of the espadin agave in every pour. Rooted in the ancient mezcal-making traditions of Mexico, this spirit carries the spirit of the land in a bottle.


Crafted from mature espadin agave, the most celebrated variety in mezcal production, Melodias de la Luna honors time-honored artisanal methods passed down through generations of Oaxacan distillers. The slow roasting of agave pinas in earthen pits imparts the characteristic depth and complexity that defines great mezcal, while careful fermentation and distillation preserve the agave's natural character.


  • Nose: Inviting aromas of roasted agave, gentle smoke, and earthy warmth with hints of dried fruit and subtle floral notes
  • Palate: A well-balanced interplay of smoky complexity, roasted sweetness, and herbaceous agave character with a touch of citrus brightness
  • Finish: Long and lingering, with warm smoke, gentle spice, and a clean mineral quality that invites the next sip

Melodias de la Luna Espadin is a natural fit for a classic Mezcal Negroni, where its smoky depth plays beautifully against bitter botanicals, or a Oaxacan Old Fashioned, letting the agave character take center stage alongside a touch of rich sweetness.


Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to let the aromas open slowly. Melodias de la Luna Espadin Mezcal is produced from espadin agave, a staple of Oaxaca's storied mezcal tradition.

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.
