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.
The EspadÃn agave, known as the genetic Mother of the Blue Weber Agave, is used to produce tequila, and is also the predominant agave used in mezcal production. Unique in itself, the characteristics of this agave showcase the aromas of wet earth, a rich smokiness on the mid-palate, and a finish reminiscent of wild flowers.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: This unique offering opens with bright aromas of citrus, late season florals and a touch of baking spice, particularly allspice.
Palate: The elements used in the final distillation show through on the palate, rounding out fresh flavors of green pepper with orange zest, nutmeg, and anise.
Finish: Hints of black pepper add spice to the slight smokiness of the mezcal on a smooth and long finish.
