El Buho, Spanish for “the Owl”, is revered in Mexican culture as the spiritual link between the living and the dead,
carrying souls from the living world to the after life. Spanish for the ‘sword,’ the Espadin agave has long been cultivated due to its vitality, high sugar content and short lifecycle. The flagship mezcal of El Buho’s line, the espadin has a light roast and smoke to its nose. Medium in body with pronounced notes of caramel, red apple and coffee, this espadin is perfect for cocktails or enjoyed on its own.
The El Buho team also employs a Director of Agriculture who oversees the organic farming practices, using chemical-free methods while recycling waste materials and organic matter in the nursery and mature agave fields.
