Description
FULL DESCRIPTION
Translating to ‘Wizard’ in English, Bruxo was created by a group of friends who love and honour mezcal in all its magic. A handcrafted joven mezcal, Bruxo No.1 is made from 100% Espadin Agaves that take 7-8 years to grow before they can be harvested. Using traditional production methods, once harvested the Agaves are cooked slowly in an earthen pit. The cooked agaves are crushed with a tahona, then left to ferment naturally before being twice distilled through copper pot stills.
TASTING NOTES
Appearance: Silver clear.
Nose: Floral vanilla notes with charred pineapple.
Taste: Creamy with caramelised agave and notes of banana.
Finish: Syrupy with gentle smoke.
Overall: Soft and creamy smoke with plenty of ripe tropical fruit.
Gift
Bruxo No.1 is an excellent entry level mezcal as it isn’t overly smokey. It’s more like barbequed fruit kebabs and makes a banging mezcal sour.
RECOMMENDATIONS
If the person you’re buying for is a fan of the Bruxo No.1 you could also try Nuestra Soledad, QuiQuiRiQui or Los Denzantes Reposado.
Connoisseur
The literal translation of mezcal is ‘oven-cooked agave’, the only real difference between mezcal and Tequila is that mezcal is not regulated to the 5 states, like Tequila is. It is predominantly made in the southern state of Oaxaca and unlike Tequila it can be made from any type of agave plant native to Mexico, but not blue. It is categorized from blanco, through to extra añejo in the same way Tequila is and has grown massively in popularity recently. The production and ageing, all the way through to the bottling is generally the same as Tequila.
