Bozal Arroqueno Reserva Mezcal is a rare expression built around one of the most sought-after wild agaves in Oaxacan mezcal production. Arroqueno agaves grow for decades before harvest, and that patience translates directly into a spirit of extraordinary depth and complexity.

Bozal Mezcal has long championed single-agave expressions that showcase the terroir of wild and cultivated plants across Mexico's mezcal-producing regions. The Arroqueno variety, a large-bodied agave native to the valleys of Oaxaca, yields a relatively small amount of juice per plant, making each bottle a genuine reflection of the land and the slow, traditional production methods Bozal is known for. Pit roasting, stone milling, open-air fermentation, and copper or clay pot distillation are hallmarks of this style, delivering a mezcal that feels rooted in place and process.

• Nose: Rich roasted agave, dark fruit, dried herbs, and an earthy smoke that opens gradually to reveal floral and tropical undertones
• Palate: Bold and layered with cooked agave sweetness, leather, dark chocolate, stone fruit, and a savory minerality that speaks to the wild character of the Arroqueno plant
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering smoke, dried fruit, and a gentle herbaceous quality that fades slowly and cleanly

Bozal Arroqueno Reserva Mezcal shines on its own served neat, but it also makes a commanding base for a Mezcal Negroni or a Oaxacan Old Fashioned, where its depth anchors the cocktail without disappearing behind other ingredients.

Best enjoyed at room temperature in a wide-mouthed copita or a rocks glass to allow the aromas to open fully. Bozal Arroqueno Reserva is a single-agave mezcal made from wild and cultivated Arroqueno agave sourced from the Oaxaca region of Mexico.
