Puente Internacional, the Mexican artisanal spirits producer, released La Luna Mezcal. Hailing from Etucuaro, Michoacan in Mexico, La Luna is one of the few mezcals that is grown and harvested completely sustainable and biodynamic.
Grown by the Perez Escot Family, who have been crafting Mezcal since 1910, La Luna prides itself on supporting surrounding communities while honoring traditional methods.
The La Luna Mezcal flavor profile is described as having a deft touch of wood with light smoky undertones, notes of citrus blossom and vanilla bean. The mild, yet dynamic flavors of La Luna make it ideal to enjoy on its own neat, or incorporated into mixology cocktails where it compliments other ingredients while not overpowering them.
The extraordinary worldwide demand for Tequila and Mezcal has reached a point that the sustainability of agave production and other resources have become jeopardized. While the shortage and premature harvesting of Blue Agave has posed serious issues for many regions of Mexico, Puente and the Perez Escot Family strive to ensure the longevity of the Cupereta Agave by replacing each one harvested with 10 new plants.
