Bozal Cenizo Mezcal is a rare expression built for those who seek the untamed heart of mezcal. Crafted from the wild Cenizo agave, this bottling from Bozal offers a glimpse into the rugged, high-desert terroir that defines some of Mexico's most distinctive spirits.


The Cenizo agave, known botanically as Agave durangensis, thrives in the arid highlands of Durango, where extreme conditions concentrate sugars and intensify the plant's natural character. Traditional production methods honor the agave's complexity, yielding a mezcal with unmistakable depth and a wild, earthy personality that sets it apart from lowland expressions.


  • Nose: Wild herbs, dry earth, roasted agave, and a whisper of smoke with faint floral undertones
  • Palate: Rich roasted agave sweetness balanced by mineral complexity, dried fruit, subtle spice, and savory herbaceous notes
  • Finish: Long and warming with lingering smoke, dried chili, and a clean earthy resonance

Bozal Cenizo Mezcal holds its own in a Mezcal Negroni, where its smoky depth amplifies the bittersweet interplay, and it brings welcome complexity to a simple Mezcal Paloma.


Best enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water to open the nose, this expression is made from wild Cenizo agave sourced from the highlands of Durango, Mexico.

Tasting Notes

Master Distiller: Juan Manuel Conde
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

Nombre de Dios, Durango

Nombre de Dios sits in southern Durango, about an hour southeast of the state capital, at roughly 1,750 meters. Founded in 1562, it is considered the oldest town in northern Mexico and was named a Pueblo Mágico in 2018. The semi-arid plateau around it is home to wild Cenizo agave (Agave durangensis) and sotol, and Durango holds denominations of origin for both mezcal and sotol. Vinatas around town still roast agave in underground pits and ferment it in wood or stone.
