Bozal Pechuga offers a brilliant explosion of flavors. On the nose, expect a refreshing blend of floral, mango, and subtle brown sugar notes. Rich mouthfeel, earthy tones with hints of roasted fruit and a subtle smokiness, finishing dry and clean on the palate. Despite the robust flavors, it maintains a great balance, avoiding being overly intense, which I often feel with a Pechuga.

It’s smooth and has this cool, kind of herbal taste to it. It’s easy to drink without too much complication.

It’s got a mix of flavors, kind of herbal and a bit spicy. It’s interesting but not too wild, so it’s good for drinking with friends

Love the bold, earthy flavors here

So rich and deep

unique taste, can’t even explain why exactly, but I haven’t tasted that particular flavor in mezcal before. Kind of earthy and a little bit spicy. It’s different from others but in a good way.

When I think of the flavor profile inexperienced Americans expect when they first think of mezcal, this is it. There’s a really strong, smoky, ashy initial nose to it. The flavor has a bit of an artificial feel to it, like what you would get from artificial sweetener. At the price point, I’d probably pass next time.

I had a chance to sip the Coyote in a mezcaleria while I was in Oaxaca in 2023. Slight notes of smoke, slightly earthy and metallic. I like it, but probably wouldn’t import a bottle.

I get lots of fruit and vegetal here, nice spice finish. Good amount of smoke, not too much so it doesn’t overpower the more subtle flavors. You can taste the clay quite a lot, but in a good way. I didn’t have a lot of coyotes before, but that one is a good start!

Very herbaceous, floral and earthy, incredible example for a good tobasiche. The smoke doesn’t overpower those flavors so it’s a balanced mix. Smooth as well, great sipping mezcal!

Tepeztate is my favorite varietal, but for some reason this one falls a little short. And that’s a bummer because it’s fairly expensive!
