History,
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 refine d. Because we at bozal believe that something wild produces a far richer spirit.
Castilla Part of the Angustifolia agave family, the Castilla is a close cousin to the Espadín agave and takes seven to nine years to mature. Smaller in size than an Espadín and often discovered more in the wild, this agave is heavily influenced by its terroir, with each batch varrying depending on its surroundings.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Driven by the region that the Castilla was sourced from, the aromatics are rich, with weathered leather and earthy notes.
Palate: A subtle measure of smoke complements the soft minerality of wet stone. Driven by flavors of cooked meats, chipotle peppers, and red ancho chili.
Finish: smooth finish with subtle hints of smoke.
