We strive to create sustainable
mezcal by planting more Espadin
agaves than we use each year.
Spanish for the ‘sword,’ the Espadin agave has long been cultivated due to its vitality, high sugar content and short lifecycle. These plants flower around 7-10 years in age, which is one of the shortest cycles of the 30-40 varietals commonly used to make mezcal. The flowering quiote is a must for any agave to be used to make El Buho, as this is a signal of high sugar content and flavor.
