La Luna Bruto

Verdict

La Luna has become one of the Michoacán standard-bearers in US distribution, and the straight bruto is their most direct statement, no blending, no barrel, no cleverness, just cupreata-family agave at over 50% from the right village. Buy alongside the La Luna cupreata, chino, and manso sahuayo for the clearest single-producer Michoacán education on US shelves.

Tasting notes

Nose: Green pepper walks in first, then wet stone, roasted agave, wild herb

Palate: 50.62% – Adan and 'Jigy' Perez's bruto (a cupreata-lineage agave) from La Luna's Michoacán operation arrives dense, green, and proof-forward; the Michoacán mineral backbone sits clearly under the wild-agave character

Finish: Long, warm, slate-tinged

The bottom line

Michoacán at full volume. The straight-shot La Luna statement
