A striking entry in the world of artisanal mezcal, Bozal Sacrificio Guias de Calabaza is crafted with wild agave and a deeply traditional process that speaks to the soul of Mexican distilling heritage. This rare expression from Bozal Mezcal is a testament to the brand's commitment to honoring indigenous production methods and the terroir of the agave landscape.


Bozal Sacrificio Guias de Calabaza mezcal is produced using wild-harvested agave and time-honored techniques passed down through generations of Oaxacan and rural Mexican communities. The incorporation of calabaza, a native squash, during fermentation is a hallmark of the Sacrificio line, imparting a distinctly earthy and vegetal character that sets it apart from more conventional mezcal expressions. Small-batch distillation in clay or copper pot stills ensures each bottle carries the unmistakable fingerprint of its origin.


  • Nose: Roasted agave, damp earth, dried herbs, and subtle hints of squash and smoke rise from the glass with inviting complexity.
  • Palate: Rich and layered, with cooked agave sweetness, earthy mineral notes, roasted vegetable character, gentle spice, and a whisper of tropical fruit.
  • Finish: Long and smoky with lingering herbal and mineral qualities that invite a slow, contemplative sip.

Bozal Sacrificio Guias de Calabaza mezcal shines beautifully when sipped neat, but also makes for a bold and nuanced foundation in an Oaxacan Old Fashioned or a smoky Mezcal Negroni where its earthy depth can truly unfold.


Best enjoyed neat or with a single ice cube to open the aromas, this small-batch mezcal is crafted from wild agave in the tradition-rich mezcal-producing regions of Mexico. A must-explore bottle for collectors and enthusiasts seeking something genuinely distinctive from the Bozal Mezcal portfolio.

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.

Map of Oaxaca, Mexico, with Río de Ejutla marked

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.
