WILDLY REFINED
On the steep precarious hillsides of Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Durango varieties of agave, indigenous to the
region, grow wild and are heavily sought after by the local mezcaleros.
These varietals produce flavors that are exotically intense, with rich earth tones and savory smokiness. From the heart of the maguey these flavors are traditionally extracted to produce mezcal that is wildly refine d. Because we at bozal believe that something wild produces a far richer spirit.
AGAVE-cuishe
One of the most physically distinct species of agave, Cuishe, a subspecies of the Karwinskii Family of agave, grows vertically as a single stalk with its leaves spreading at the top and takes twelve years to mature. Due to its unusual structure, and the stalk containing the firmer piña material,
Cuishe can be difficult to harvest and to work with in general. This agave offers aromas full of tropical fruit with a dry piney and mineral finish.
TASTE
The nose is driven by intense aromas of citrus, with burnt orange complemented by notes of honeysuckle and
herbaceous flowers. On the palate, layers of raw honey are balanced with jalapeño spice. A strong minerality spreads throughout the mouth leading to a smoky finish with a touch of wet stone.
