El Buho Especial Puro Capon Espadin Artesanal Mezcal

100% estate-grown made exclusively from Espadín agave planted over 10 years ago by the Jimenez Mendez family in their field (Hornos), in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. The resulting mezcal is a coveted family treasure called “PURO CAPÓN.”

This special, limited edition production yielded only 202 cases and is made exclusively from Espadín agave planted over 10 years ago.    When the agaves sprouted quiotes they were truncated like a normal batch production;  however,  these Espadín agave,  now called ‘capon’,   were left in the field for more than one year before harvesting, creating another layer of flavor that is not found in our regular Espadín.   The resulting mezcal is a pure and authentic expression of the Hornos field terroir that we call “PURO CAPÓN.”
