Bozal artesanal Barril Reserva Mezcal

Bozal artesanal Barril Reserva Mezcal

On the steep precarious hillsides of Oaxaca, Guerrero and Durango varieties of agave, indigenous to the region, grow wild and are heavily sought after by the local mezcaleros. These varietals produce flavors that are exotically intense, with rich earth tones and savory smokiness. From the heart of the maguey these flavors are traditionally extracted to produce mezcal that is wildly refined. Because we at bozal believe that something wild produces a far richer spirit.

Agave

This thick-foliaged, wild agave, often used as fencing to divide land in Oaxaca, intensifies the complexity of this mezcal. As citrus and floral notes arise, hints of green peppers compliment the nose. The palate is a delightful balance of citrus and creamy banana.

Taste

The aromatics are herbaceous and spicy with notes of forest grass and anise flower. A slight sweetness is evident on the unctuous palate with flavors of agave, honey and river stone, finishing with a floral aftertaste.
