Bruxo Mezcal, a brand born out of a group of friends' love for Mexico and its magic, offers a unique take on traditional mezcal. Their No. 2 Pechuga de Maguey, for instance, is not your typical Pechuga. Instead of using the traditional chicken breast, they infuse the mezcal with freshly roasted agave hearts, giving it a rich, sweet flavor with a hint of smokiness. The brand's name, Bruxo, is a nod to the wisdom and illumination associated with shamans, reflecting their deep respect for the lands of Oaxaca and Mexico. Each bottle of Bruxo may vary slightly, showcasing the brand's commitment to artisanal production and the unique character of each batch.
We picked up a bottle of number 4 and number 3 here in Oaxaca for a side-by-side comparison. For the price (~$45) we were pretty impressed. I found No. 4 to be a bit smoother and more tasty than the more expensive No. 3. This is an easy decision at the price point.
