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.
Chino Verde is a wild, extremely rare agave foraged from the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains. This agave can grow quite large and is usually harvested between seven and nine years of age. The concentration of sugar in the fully mature agave produces an extremely powerful mezcal.
