Ojo De Tigre Small Batch Mezcal
Ojo de Tigre is an artisanal mezcal made at Casa Ausencio León in Tlacolula de Matamoros, in Oaxaca's central valleys, and it's built as a two-state ensemble: maguey espadín (Agave angustifolia) from Oaxaca blended with tobalá (Agave potatorum) from Puebla. Tobalá is a small, slow-growing wild species that's hard to cultivate, so it's usually reserved for pricey single-agave bottles; blending a share of it with espadín is what sets this mezcal apart at its price. Production follows artisanal rules. The agaves are roasted in an underground stone-lined pit oven, milled with a stone tahona, fermented, and double distilled in copper alembic stills. It's bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) for the US. The smoke is deliberately restrained, which makes it an easy introduction to mezcal and a reliable mixer. Bevvy's review finds sweet agave, light smoke, tropical fruit, kiwi and coconut on the nose, a palate of grassy cooked agave sweetened by citrus over a deeper vein of smoke, and a vegetal, mineral finish with a hint of cocoa. Use it in a mezcal Margarita, a Paloma or a Mezcal Negroni, or sip it neat with orange slices and sal de gusano.
