Se Busca Mezcal is a distinguished artisanal mezcal brand that stands out for its rich heritage and deep connection to the spirit's traditional roots in Mexico. The name "Se Busca," which translates to "Wanted" in English, echoes the rebellious spirit and profound cultural significance mezcal holds, often associated with the Mexican Revolution and the strong, resilient women who played vital roles during that era.
Produced in the San Juan del Rio region of Oaxaca, a state renowned for its mezcal, Se Busca pays homage to the meticulous, centuries-old methods of crafting mezcal. The brand is known for its use of 100% Agave Augustifolia Espadín, which is harvested at the peak of maturity to ensure the highest quality of the spirit.
The production process adheres to traditional methods, including cooking the agave in earthen pits lined with volcanic stones, allowing the piñas (agave hearts) to absorb the earthy, smoky flavors characteristic of authentic mezcal. After cooking, the agave is crushed, typically using a stone wheel (tahona), and then fermented in open-air vats before being distilled in copper pot stills. This painstaking process results in a mezcal that is rich, complex, and imbued with the distinctive smoky flavor that aficionados cherish.
Se Busca Mezcal offers a range of expressions, including Joven (unaged), which showcases the purest flavors of the agave and smoke, as well as aged varieties like Reposado and Añejo, which acquire additional depth and complexity from their time in oak barrels. These expressions exhibit a nuanced interplay of flavors, from the earthy and smoky to hints of fruit, herbs, and spices, offering a diverse palette for both seasoned mezcal drinkers and newcomers to the spirit.
Beyond its product, Se Busca is notable for celebrating and empowering the role of women in the mezcal industry, both historically and in contemporary production, aligning with its brand narrative that highlights strength and defiance.
Se Busca Mezcal is more than just a spirit; it's a tribute to Mexican culture, history, and the artisanal craftsmanship that defines premium mezcal. Whether sipped neat, over ice, or in a crafted cocktail, Se Busca offers a genuine taste of Mexico's rich heritage and the vibrant future of mezcal
