Distiller Notes
Se Busca, which means "WANTED" or “In Search Of” in Spanish, is a tribute to the brave women of the Mexican Revolution who stood shoulder to shoulder with men in battle for a new constitution. As unapologetic as our mezcal, these women were the outlaws of their time, earning the titles of Adelitas and Soldaderas (women in the military). Se Busca mezcal is our tribute to their battle cry - a cry proving that in every revolution there is love. The word "mezcal" comes from Nahuatl mexcali meaning "oven-cooked agave". This beverage represents the history, culture and diversity if Mexico. Se Busca is a super-premium mezcal made from 100% Agave Augustifolia Espadin, produced in San Juan del Rio, a small town in Oaxaca, Mexico. The mezcal is manufactured at an unnamed distillery that is owned by the family that has overseen the artisanal production process for generations. Balancing rich cooked agave, gunpowder and mesquite, maestros mezcaleros Rodolfo and Mary Lopez Sosa handcrafted this mezcal to embody the rebel spirit of the women of the Mexican Revolution, earning it the title "Se Busca."
Reposado translates literally to ‘rested’ and refers to a Mezcal that has aged in oak barrels between sixty days to one year. This resting time allows the smoky, vegetal flavors and aromas of the young new-make spirit to soften and mellow, letting the complex qualities of the agave and barrel emerge. Depending on the type of barrel used, the wood will impart both color and flavor components of its own, such as molasses, toffee and vanilla.
