Get ready, mezcal fans – El Búho is swooping back into Union Square Wines by popular demand! Hailing from the renowned mezcal capital, Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, El Búho represents classic Zapotec tradition married with meticulous craft. Under the guidance of Maestro Mezcalero Octavio Jimenez Monterroza, they transform mature Espadín agave using time-honored methods: a patient seven-day roast in stone ovens, ten days of wild yeast fermentation in pine vats, traditional horse-drawn tahona milling, and double distillation in copper stills.
This week, we're thrilled to once again feature their flagship El Búho Espadín Mezcal. If you missed them the first time, now is your chance! This is a beautifully expressive spirit, offering an inviting nose of light roast, gentle smoke, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it achieves a perfect balance at 45% ABV, revealing pronounced notes of rich caramel, crisp red apple, roasted agave sweetness, and a subtle coffee undertone, finishing with a touch of salinity.
Whether you're looking to revisit a favorite or discover why El Búho is such a hit, join us for this exciting return engagement. Experience the approachable complexity that makes this Espadín equally perfect for savoring neat or building exceptional cocktails. Let's give El Búho a warm welcome back – don't miss this opportunity to taste classic Oaxacan mezcal craftsmanship!
You're cordially invited to our event, and while reservations aren't necessary, feel free to register if you'd like!
