The El Buho Jabali Mezcal is a very small production of 738 liters. The jabali agave is notorious for being the most difficult agave to work with due to the foam it produces and the lower sugar content. It requires three to four distillations. This agave is named after the wild boar because of it’s spikey, curved leaf resemblance to the animal. This production was also aged in stainless steel for eight months.
