La Luna Temporada de Lluvias is a joven mezcal ancestral made from 100% Agave tequilana in Michoacán, bottled at 48.51% ABV.
As the name says, it was made during the rainy season, when cooler, wetter conditions shape fermentation.
La Luna has produced it in Cotija, Michoacán, where small batches of ancestral mezcal are made.
Agave tequilana, the same blue agave used for tequila, shows a fruity, vegetal side when made into mezcal.
La Luna is known for bottling single agaves from Michoacán's mezcaleros, and this rainy-season release is a seasonal snapshot from one of Mexico's most exciting mezcal regions.
