Luna Malvada Diablo 100 Proof Plata Tequila
Luna Malvada Diablo 100 Proof Plata Tequila – High-Proof Full Moon-Harvested Blanco
Luna Malvada Diablo 100 Proof Plata Tequila is the bold, high-proof expression of Luna Malvada's extraordinary blanco — bottled at a commanding 100 proof (50% ABV) to amplify the full aromatic intensity and agave character of their unique Southern Jalisco terroir. Where the standard Plata is crafted for smoothness and approachability, the Diablo is built for those who want the full, unrestrained expression of Luna Malvada's exceptional agave.
Born from the Tropical Dry Forests near Villa Purificación, Jalisco — at the foothills of the Colima Volcanoes — and harvested exclusively during the full moon cycle, this is a high-proof blanco of rare character and intensity.
The Land
The Tropical Dry Forests of Southern Jalisco — a lush, bio-diverse region with rich red volcanic soils, retracing agave cultivation to its ancestral roots near the Colima foothills. A newly rediscovered growing region unlike the traditional Highlands or Lowlands.
The Agave
100% Premium Blue Weber Agave (Agave Tequilana Weber Var. Azul), optimized from the original wild strains native to this region. Harvested only during the full moon cycle for peak quality and juice content.
The Process
Hand-selected, estate-grown agave harvested at peak maturity. Slow cooking and slower cooling to convert the high sugar content. Double distilled and slow, gravity-flow filtered — then bottled at 100 proof to preserve the full intensity of the distillate.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Bold and expressive with fresh agave, tropical fruit, volcanic minerality, and a vibrant floral lift — amplified by the higher proof
- Palate: Full-bodied and intense with concentrated agave sweetness, ripe fruit, and a spiced, mineral complexity that the 100 proof strength brings into sharp focus
- Finish: Long, warming, and powerful with lingering agave, pepper, and a clean, high-proof heat
