Bozal Borrego Mezcal is a rare and deeply expressive spirit crafted from wild-foraged agave, offering a window into the most traditional and untamed side of mezcal production. Bozal has built its reputation on sourcing extraordinary agaves from remote corners of Mexico, and Borrego is a prime example of that commitment.


The Borrego expression draws its name and character from agave varieties harvested in the rugged highlands of Oaxaca, where small-batch artisanal production methods have been passed down through generations. Bozal mezcals are made using time-honored techniques including stone milling, open-air fermentation, and small copper or clay pot distillation, preserving the raw, earthy complexity that wild agave delivers.


  • Nose: Expect a fragrant and wild aromatic profile with notes of roasted agave, dried herbs, and a whisper of smoke layered over green botanicals and earthy minerality.
  • Palate: Rich and textured, with flavors of cooked agave, black pepper, dried fruit, and a savory vegetal depth that reflects the rugged terroir of its origin.
  • Finish: Long and warming, with lingering smokiness, a touch of spice, and a clean mineral quality that invites another sip.

Bozal Borrego Mezcal shines when sipped neat or on a large rock, allowing its wild complexity to fully unfold. For cocktail lovers, it brings exceptional depth to a Oaxacan Old Fashioned or a smoky Mezcal Negroni.


Best enjoyed slowly at room temperature to honor the craftsmanship behind each bottle. Bozal Borrego Mezcal is produced from wild-harvested agave in the mezcal-producing regions of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Distiller icon
Master Distiller: Don Adrian and Lucio Bautista
Bozal, Spanish for wild or untamed, bottles mezcal from family palenques in Oaxaca, Guerrero and Durango, much of it from wild agave on steep, hard-to-reach hillsides. Agave is roasted in earthen pits, crushed by stone tahona or wooden mallet, fermented open-air with natural yeast and distilled twice in copper or clay. The range runs from Ensamble and Single Maguey bottlings to Sacrificio mezcals distilled with meat or fruit and clay-pot Reserva releases. For every maguey harvested, two are planted in a mountainside nursery and returned to the wild.
LOCATION

Río de Ejutla, Oaxaca

Río de Ejutla is a small community in the Ejutla area, at the southern end of Oaxaca's Valles Centrales, where the valley floor sits at about 1,460 meters. The hills around Ejutla are home to wild karwinskii agaves such as Tobasiche, a slow-growing plant that needs twelve years or more to mature. Producers here roast agave in earthen pits, crush it with a stone tahona, ferment it in the open air with wild yeast and distill twice in copper pot stills.
