El Buho Mezcal Tepeztate |
El Buho is known for making a quality, affordable mezcal made with agave Espadin, but is now expanding into the wild agave territory with this limited edition agave Tepeztate. Production of El Buho mezcals are overseen by the family matriarch Elsa Jaurez Mendez and her husband, Master Mezcalero Octavio Jiménez Monterroza.
The agaves in Lot 2 were sourced in Santa Maria Zoquitlan, Oaxaca and the resulting mezcal was rested in stainless steel tanks for 20 months. According to El Buho, agave Tepeztate requires a 3rd distillation due to its low sugar content.

Tasty, but not earthy as one might expect with a Tepeztate
El Buho puts out great Mezcal which is why we were excited to try their Tepeztate as we love the deep earthy, smokey flavor they bring. But, to our surprise this was hardly earthy or smokey at all, but instead more floral and even a bit spicy. In all, it is good, just not what one might expect from a Tepeztate.
