El Buho Mezcal
El Buho mezcal was founded by Brooklyn chef TJ Steele in 2010, who works with the Jimenez Mendez family of Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca.
The Jimenez Mendez family has made mezcal in copper pot stills for five generations and are currently teaching the sixth. Patriarch Octavio Jimenez Monterroza presides over each batch made by his children Jose Isaac, Beatriz, and Octavio. as the family works as a collective unit.
They once worked from three copper pot stills in their home, but now have four discrete, artisanal mezcal factories. They say their recipes, attention to detail, and tradition have not changed. They produce a wide range of expressions, including an espadin, a tobala, a jabali, a tepeztate, a cuishe, and an ensamble.
