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.
Reviews
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.
