About La Luna Tequilana
La Luna is an artisanal mezcal made in the mountainous, verdant regions of Michoacan, Mexico. This expression is unusual and interesting because it is made from Blue Weber agave, the same variety most people associate with tequila, but here it is grown and distilled in the mezcal tradition of Michoacan rather than in the tequila region of Jalisco. The agave is cultivated locally and cooked slowly before fermentation and distillation. Because it is a Michoacan agave spirit rather than a tequila, it offers a different window into what Blue Weber can taste like when it is handled the artisanal mezcal way.
Tasting Notes
The menu does not include specific tasting notes for this bottle, so we will keep it honest. Artisanal Michoacan agave spirits made this way tend to show earthy, vegetal, and gently smoky character, with the underlying sweetness of cooked agave. The best way to know it is to taste it neat and decide for yourself.
What to Pair It With
Agave spirits go hand in hand with bright, savory plates. From the Sparrow dinner menu, try it with the Lamb Quesa-Birria Tacos, the Guajillo Chicken, or the Tuna Tartare, or sip it neat in the 21+ lounge. Our daily happy hour runs 3 to 5 PM.
