Ojo de Tigre Mezcal - Artisanal Espadín & Tobalá from Mexico
Ojo de Tigre is an artisanal mezcal made from a balanced blend of Espadín (Oaxaca) and Tobalá (Puebla) agaves. The agaves are traditionally roasted in stone caves, crushed with tahona mills and double distilled in copper pot stills - all with a focus on quality and accessibility.
Region & Origin
Produced in Oaxaca and Puebla, Ojo de Tigre reflects the terroir of two regions. Sustainability and craftsmanship are the focus, from the field to the bottle.
Production & style
The agaves are roasted over wood in stone ovens, naturally fermented and distilled in copper alambic pot stills. The combination of two agave varieties creates a harmoniously balanced mezcal with a mild smoky character.
Taste & aromas
- Nose: Fresh citrus and apple notes, combined with light wood smoke and agave sweetness.
- Palate: Full-bodied and round, with aromas of caramelized agave, green pear and subtle cocoa smoke.
- Finish: Smooth, slightly sweet and with an herbal, smoky minerality.
Varieties & bottlings
Ojo de Tigre is classically offered as a joven ("young") in clear form - pure and natural, without wood ageing or additives.
Enjoyment tips
Serve neat at room temperature or chilled - a great introduction to the world of mezcal. It is also a versatile cocktail companion, e.g. in Mezcal Sour or with grapefruit.
