El Buho Mezcal Arronqueno - 750ml

The Arroqueño, the crown jewel and highest proof spirit released by El Buho, is a rare agave cherished by the Jiménez Méndez family for its distinct mezcal. Grown in the sun-burnished highlands and nurtured by patient hands, this agave yields a spirit with presence and personality that step forward from the glass. From the first inhale, you are met with a refined bouquet of roasted agave, mineral nuance, and a whisper of smoke that signals depth without aggression. On the palate, the Arroqueño unfolds with a smooth, confident start—bold yet balanced—where roasted agave notes take the lead, supported by subtle hints of toasted caramel, cacao nib, and dried fruit. The texture is velvety and substantial, gliding across the tongue with a quiet elegance that invites slow savoring.

As you linger, the heat develops into a warm, resonant finish that lingers long after the last sip. The finish reveals a complex harmony of earthy terroir, gentle smoke, and a refined sweetness that does not overpower, but rather lingers to invite retry. This is mezcal crafted with tradition, precision, and a reverence for the land that yields Arroqueño. It pairs beautifully with reflective moments and paired with slow-dining courses alike, offering a rare experience for mezcal connoisseurs and curious tasters seeking a spirit of exceptional character. El Buho’s Arroqueño stands as a testament to restraint, craftsmanship, and the enduring magic of the agave.
