The Curly Agave of Michoacan

La Luna Mezcal Chino is a rare and distinctive mezcal made from Agave Chino — a wild variety named for its curly, twisted leaves ("chino" meaning "curly" in Mexican Spanish), grown in the mountains of Michoacán. La Luna is one of the leading producers of Michoacán mezcal, and the Chino is one of their most characterful and regionally distinctive expressions, showcasing a wild agave variety that is rarely seen outside of Michoacán's traditional mezcal-producing communities.
