Mezcal Ojo de Tigre (Eye of the Tiger), - an inviting mezcal crafted from Oaxacan Agave Espadin and Agave Tobala from Puebla, is a brand collaboration with renowned Mexican actor and producer Luis Gerardo Mendez.
The name Ojo de Tigre, comes from the semiprecious stone recognized as a universal amulet of good fortune. And to hold the exceptional spirit, a unique and iconic bottle was developed - inspired by the anforitas of yesteryear; personal amulets that people carried with them in good times and bad.
Ojo de Tigre is produced using artisanal practices and two types of sustainable agave. Although tobala agave is really hard to cultivate, Ojo de Tigre grows it from the fertilized seeds of naturally grown plants, making way for a sustainable mezcal that doesn't hurt the land.
Combining espadin and tobala agave makes this an incredibly balanced and smooth mezcal without overpowering smokiness. You'll taste green apple and citrus up front, followed by hints of cooked agave, caramel, and smoked cocoa.
Drawing inspiration from the fierce spirit of the tiger, Ojo de Tigre Distillery embraces a philosophy rooted in strength, resilience, and unwavering dedication to craft.
