🔥 Get ready to light up your tastebuds! On Thursday, June 19th at 6 PM, we’re turning up the heat in our Private Tasting Room at Westchester Wine Warehouse for an unforgettable evening of smoky sips, mixology magic, and mezcal-fueled fun.


This isn’t your average tasting—it’s a full-on Mezcal Masterclass meets Cocktail Lab featuring the bold and beautiful bottles from El Buho, one of Oaxaca’s most celebrated artisanal producers.

El Buho mezcal is made and led by the Jimenez Mendez family.Led by their oldest son Jose "pepe" Isaac & Beatriz Jimenez. These fifth generation mezcaleros have work diligently to build their operation from a single production facility in 2010 to four discrete palenques in 2020.

🥃What’s on the Menu?

A guided flight of four epic El Buho mezcals:

El Buho Espadín – Classic and smooth with notes of caramel, red apple, and a smoky coffee finish.

El Buho Tepeztate – Wild, bold, and packed with personality. Minerality and earth-driven spice abound.

El Buho Cuishe – Herbal, elegant, and dry with whispers of palo santo and sage.

El Buho Arroqueño – Big, rich, and rare with flavors of banana, burnt sugar, and passionfruit.

🌿 Crafted in Oaxaca by the fifth-generation Jimenez Mendez family and Brooklyn chef TJ Steele, El Buho Mezcal blends old-world techniques with contemporary cool for one unforgettable pour after another.
