$100 a bottle, but worth every dollar

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.

Solid sipper.

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

Solid Tepeztate

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

Pretty goodd

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.

Strong smoke profile

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.

Earthy, smoky

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.

First coyote

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!

Herbs, flowers, earth

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!

Not the best tepeztate

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!

Bozal Mezcal

Bozal Mezcal, with its roots in the rugged terrains of Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Durango, offers a sip of wild authenticity. The brand's name, "Bozal", captures its essence, meaning "wild" or "untamed", a nod to the wild agaves they meticulously source from these regions' untouched landscapes. These agaves, taking anywhere from 7 to 19 years to mature, are hand-harvested and processed using age-old traditions. They're cooked in earthen pits, crushed by stone tahona wheels, and undergo open-air fermentation. Sustainability is at Bozal's core; for every maguey used, two are replanted. Plus, a slice of their earnings aids local communities. Bozal's simple but iconic bottle design make their mezcals stand out on every shelf.
