El Buho Especial Pulquero is produced by Octavio Jimenez Monterroza in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca using wild agave sourced from San Pablo Guila, Oaxaca. This agave species, agave Atrovirens, matures after 15-20 years and occasionally reaches a weight of more than 4,000 pounds with leaves over 14 feet long. It is also the same plant that can be used to produce pulque. The agaves are crushed by a horse-drawn tahona, cooked for 5 days in a stone oven, and fermented for 10 days in pine vats. After distillation, it was rested in plastic for 7 months.
