Se Busca Mezcal Joven

Se Busca Mezcal Joven is an unaged artisanal mezcal produced in Oaxaca, Mexico, from 100% Espadín agave. The expression is made by maestros mezcaleros Rodolfo and Mary López Sosa, with the brand emphasizing a balance between rich cooked agave and restrained mesquite smoke rather than the intensely smoky profile sometimes associated with the category. The name Se Busca, meaning "wanted," draws inspiration from the women who fought during the Mexican Revolution. The brand was created as a tribute to their rebellious and often under-recognized role in the conflict, giving the bottle's imagery and identity a historical connection beyond the spirit itself.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Light mesquite smoke and roasted agave lead, followed by grass, caramel and roasted nuts. Fruit and citrus add freshness underneath the more savoury agave character.

Palate: Fruity and green with cooked agave at the centre, developing into nuts, herbs and a slightly waxy texture. Caramel and ripe fruit provide subtle sweetness while olive, mint, brine and earthy smoke add complexity.

Finish: Full-bodied and gently sweet with lingering cooked agave, herbs and mesquite, ending on a mellow kick of spice rather than aggressive smoke.
