Anejo mezcal produced for the Se Busca range, which was named as a tribute to the woman that fought in the Mexican revolution. Sitting at the top of the range, this expression boasts heavy oak influence, and ought to be excellent for sipping neat. Aged for just over 1 year in oak casks.
Se Busca, which means ‘wanted’ 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 mexcalli meaning “oven-cooked agave.” This spirit represents the history, culture and diversity of Mexico. Se Busca is a super-premium mezcal artesanal made from 100% Agave Augustifolia Espadin, produced in San Juan del Rio, a small town in Oaxaca, Mexico. Se Busca is skillfully distilled and aged at the family-owned Lopes Sosa palenque – an artisanal production that has been making this famed spirit for more than 50 years. Balancing rich cooked agave and mesquite, maestros mezcaleros Rodolfo and Mary Lopez Sosa handcraft this mezcal to embody the rebel spirit of the women of the Mexican Revolution, earning it the title “Se Busca”.
