Se Busca Mezcal Artesanal Reposado

Silky, oak-kissed and irresistibly complex, Se Busca Mezcal Artesanal Reposado layers coconut and roasted nuts over gentle mesquite smoke and warm oak spice. Handcrafted in Oaxaca from 100% Espadín, it’s a refined, rebellious mezcal for sipping, gifting and elevated cocktails.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Sweet, rounded aromas of coconut, hazelnut and almond intertwine with mesquite and vanilla. The palate is plush and complex—nutty praline, light cereal, oak and baked agave—gliding to a long, mellow finish with a soft, smoky spice.

Cocktail Pairings

The rounded sweetness and gentle smoke of Se Busca Reposado make it a versatile base for refined cocktails. A classic Oaxaca Old Fashioned highlights its nutty oak and mesquite depth with bitters and agave nectar, while a Mezcal Negroni brings balance with sweet vermouth and bitter aperitivo. For a silky and aromatic twist, a Se Busca Sour with lime, agave and egg white showcases its smooth texture, and a refreshing Smoky Paloma blends grapefruit soda, lime and salt for a citrusy lift with smoky complexity.

Craftsmanship & Story

Se Busca (“wanted”) pays tribute to the Adelitas and Soldaderas—fearless women of the Mexican Revolution. Produced artesanally at the family-run López Sosa palenque in San Juan del Río, Espadín agaves are hand-harvested, roasted in earthen pits, tahona-crushed, naturally fermented and copper-distilled. The reposado style rests in oak, weaving sweetness and spice into its signature mesquite character.

Special Features

A graceful balance of sweet nuts, oak and mesquite smoke; authentic artesanal production at a historic Oaxacan palenque; a powerful narrative celebrating Mexico’s revolutionary heroines; and a versatile, polished profile that shines neat, on the rocks or in refined cocktails—making it a standout for luxury gifting.
