La Luna Pechuga de Jabali

Michoacán

La Luna Pechuga de Jabali is a Lot 31 ensamble mezcal from Michoacán. Producer Hernan Hernandez Escot uses Cupreata and Inaequidens agaves under NOM-M269C. Filipino distillation yields a 48.51 percent ABV spirit with stew-like aromas of roasted fennel, rosemary, and thyme. Raw potato and wet mulch notes ground the intense herbal profile on the nose. Palate flavors include salted green tomatoes, almonds, and mushrooms with wood smoke. Sweet dates and apples balance the primarily sour and bitter taste in this complex bottling.
