Why we love Bozal Tepeztate Mezcal
- The Tepeztate agave, a subspecies of the Marmorata family of agave, has a very distinct, erratic leaf structure and flourishes best on the sides of steep, rocky cliffs. Tepeztate produces beautiful quiotes at the end of life which flower a rich yellow before turning to seed. This agave offers a powerful, unique aroma dominated by floral characteristics.
- Powerful aromas greet the nose with tropical fruits, fresh berries, and a sweet hint of https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_05JXLi_vpuhj-SbSPZRdzHzzkwFae81eZJfMQY1phQ/editflan. The mouth is tropical as well, with flavors of papaya complemented by a touch of green pepper leading to a long, mineral forward finish.
- 94 proof / 47% ABV / 750mL bottle

About the Brand
The Spanish term Bozal, translates to “wild” or “untamed.” Bozal chose this name for their Mezcal in reference to the wild species of Mexican agave grown in hard-to-reach, uncultivated lands of Oaxaca, Guerrero and Durango. As well as for the untamed traditions used by their family-operated distilleries, or mezcaleros, to distill small batches in those same locations.
For every one maguey harvested to produce Bozal Mezcal, two are planted in a mountainside wild nursery to be transported back into the wild after one to two years.
