History,
WILDLY REFINED
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 Tepeztate agave, a subspecies of the Marmorata family of agave, has a very distinct, erratic leaf structure and flourishes best on the sides of steep, rocky cliffs. Tepeztate produces beautiful quiotes at the end of life which flower a rich yellow before turning to seed. This agave offers a powerful, unique aroma dominated by floral characteristics.
Tasting Notes,
Powerful aromas greet the nose with tropical fruits, fresh berries, and a sweet hint of flan. The mouth is tropical as well, with flavors of papaya complemented by a touch of green pepper leading to a long, mineral forward finish.
