Ojo de Tigre Mezcal

Unveiling the Eye of the Tiger: A Deep Dive into Ojo de Tigre Mezcal

Calling all mezcal adventurers! Embark on a journey of discovery with Ojo de Tigre, a premium artisanal mezcal that promises a flavourful and balanced experience. Hailing from Mexico, this spirit is crafted with a unique blend of agaves, offering a distinctive taste profile that will tantalise your palate.

A Sustainable Spirit with Heritage

Ojo de Tigre takes pride in its commitment to sustainability. Their mezcal is produced using a blend of 100% Espadín agave from Oaxaca and Tobalá agave from Puebla, both cultivated with care for the environment. Espadín, known for its versatility, brings a touch of sweetness and earthiness, while the Tobalá adds a layer of complex herbal and floral notes. This thoughtful combination ensures a well-rounded and intriguing mezcal.

Tasting Ojo de Tigre: A Symphony of Flavours

Appearance: Ojo de Tigre boasts a crystal-clear colour, showcasing its purity and artisanal production methods.

Aroma: As you approach the glass, a wave of enticing aromas greets you. Earthy and smoky notes, characteristic of mezcal, intertwine with hints of minerality and subtle sweetness. A touch of citrus zest adds a refreshing element, while delicate floral nuances complete the inviting bouquet.

Palate: The first sip of Ojo de Tigre is a revelation. The smoky essence is present but gentle, perfectly balanced by the sweetness of cooked agave. Earthy tones emerge alongside hints of black pepper and a touch of citrus, creating a complex and captivating flavour profile. The Tobalá agave shines through with its herbal character, adding a touch of intrigue and depth. The mezcal boasts a smooth and creamy texture, leaving a pleasant warmth on the finish.

Ojo de Tigre's versatility allows for exploration in different ways:

• Neat: For the purists, sipping Ojo de Tigre neat allows you to appreciate the full spectrum of its flavours. Use a mezcal copita (a small, traditionally clay cup) to enhance the experience.
• Oaxacan Old Fashioned: Breathe new life into the classic Old Fashioned by using Ojo de Tigre instead of bourbon. Combine 2 oz Ojo de Tigre mezcal, 0.5 oz agave nectar, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, and a flamed orange peel for a smoky and sophisticated twist.
• Spicy Margarita:  Embrace the smoky heat with a spicy margarita. Combine 1.5 oz Ojo de Tigre mezcal, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, and a few slices of jalapeño pepper. Shake with ice, strain, and garnish with a lime wedge for a refreshing and fiery cocktail.
• Mezcal Mule:  For a touch of ginger kick, try a Mezcal Mule. Combine 2 oz Ojo de Tigre mezcal, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 3 oz ginger beer, and a squeeze of fresh ginger. Serve in a copper mug filled with ice for a vibrant and flavourful drink.
