FROM THE WIRES...
Just in time for Earth Day (April 22) and Cinco de Mayo, we’d love for you to consider the mezcals from Bozal Mezcal, a wildly refined label made from indigenous Mexican agave with a strong commitment to sustainable farming.
With the mezcal market forecast to increase in volume by more than 85% from 2021 – 2026, sustainable agriculture and production are more important than ever to consumers as environmental impacts increase. Bozal’s dedication to sustainability is reflected in its farming practices and its support of the land where it’s harvested. For every single maguey harvested to produce Bozal Mezcal, Bozal plants two in a mountainside nursery to be transported back into the wild. A portion of Bozal’s profits go back to small villages to support various community efforts. Below are current expressions available for your sampling consideration:
Bozal Ensamble (SRP: $50) – A proprietary blend produced with a variety of unique magueys that complement each other, the Ensamble is a light and easy sipping mezcal, which surprises with its complex lingering finish. A slightly smoky, yet herbaceous undertone rests on the center of the palate, while citrus and floral notes from the Barril maguey are introduced and strengthened by the warm viscose finish of the Mexicano variety.
Bozal Single Maguey Tepeztate (SRP: $80) – The Tepeztate, a subspecies of the Marmorata Family of agave, has a very distinct, erratic leaf structure and flourishes on the sides of steep, rocky cliffs. It 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.
Bozal Single Maguey Tobasiche (SRP: $80) – A subspecies of the Karwinskii Family of agave, the Tobasiche is a wild agave that needs twelve to thirteen years to fully mature. This agave is typically characterized by its herbaceous and cedar-like aromatics with an earthy finish.
In iconic ceramic bottles, Bozal’s portfolio is characterized by exotic and intense flavors, with rich earth tones and savory smokiness.
