Lune d’Abricot is the rebirth of a traditional liqueur, Apricot Brandy. The Merlet family has selected several varieties of apricots from partner producers in Roussillon, leveraging their status and expertise as blackcurrant growers and winemakers to select fruits at optimal ripeness.
TASTING NOTES:
COLOR: Yellow-orange.
NOSE: A distinguished and powerful apricot nose with spicy and woody notes, a blend of wildflowers, exotic fruits (mango), and a hint of almond.
PALATE: Both lively and creamy on the palate, with honeyed touches (acacia, linden), apricot pulp, and citrus undertones (lemon, orange).
FINISH: A fantastic length with a hint of honeysuckle and bitterness. Generous, indulgent, silky, and even dry.

Maguey tepeztate (or tepextate) is an Agave marmorata. It produces beautiful quiotes at the end of it’s life that flower a rich yellow before turning to seed. Tepeztate takes as many as 25 years to mature in the wild, and sustainability efforts are needed in order to keep mezcal production of this agave in the future. Despite all odds it seems to flourish best on the sides of steep rocky cliffs. In certain areas of Puebla there is a smaller sub-varietal of the Agave marmorata that grows with lateral white stripes across the pencas.
