A SPIRIT OF LEGENDS
Across Mexico and the Coastal Bend region, the legend of La Lechuza captivates with its haunting allure. This mythical witch owl, both beautiful and enigmatic, is said to seek revenge, preying on adult men, drunkards, innocent infants, and those enchanted by her mysterious cry. Local lore suggests that protection from her sinister charms can be achieved using salt or by reciting the Magnificat backwards. Inspired by this age-old legend and Hispanic traditions deeply rooted in South Texas, our agave spirit embodies the mystique of La Lechuza.
La Lechuza Agave Spirit is twice distilled from 100% blue agave, delivering a slightly sweet profile with citrus lime notes and a hint of salt. Unlike its mythical counterpart, this spirit offers a gentle and alluring experience that warms the palate. For the best taste, enjoy La Lechuza slightly chilled and savor its complex flavors. However, sip wisely—too much might just draw you into La Lechuza’s enchanting grip.
La Lechuza is crafted from agave nectar sourced from the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and distilled and bottled at our Beeville distillery, 180 miles north.

Why is La Lechuza released in two different batches?
While the base ingredient remains 100% blue agave, we tested out two different types of yeast in the fermentation process. Batch No. 1 used a specialty bread yeast, while Batch No. 2 used a yeast strain specifically selected to ferment blue agave. Both yielded similar flavors and notes, because they come from the same quality base 100% blue agave syrup. The difference in yeasts evidences itself in the smoothness of the spirit. Batch No. 1 came out incredibly smooth. Batch No. 2 came out with a hint more of a classic tequila bite.
Batch No. 2 is highly flavorful and has a beautiful nose. It's an enjoyable agave spirit that is a better option for mixing in your favorite tequila cocktails like Margaritas, Palomas and more. At a lower price point of $55 a bottle, this spirit you can enjoy more regularly without the guilt you may (or may not!) have with Batch No. 1.
HOW TO DRINK
La Lechuza is best enjoyed with family after a home-cooked meal, and Abuela's favorite Vicente Fernandez record playing in the background.
Sip chilled and neat for the full flavor experience. If you prefer to mix, make it into a Paloma with fresh squeezed grapefruit from the Valley.
WHERE TO BUY
Available for purchase in the Tasting Room in Beeville, Texas. We will be partnering with limited liquor stores across Texas for a wider distribution for our customers. Details to be announced soon.
