Bozal Mezcal Espadin is part of our Mezcal collection. It is crafted in Mexico.
Bozal Mezcal Espadin captures the essence of traditional Mexican craftsmanship with its small-batch production and hand-harvested agave. What sets this mezcal apart is its unique aging process in glass containers, which allows the spirit to maintain its pure, unadulterated flavors without any influence from wood barrels.
Bozal Mezcal Espadin stands out for its use of wild agave plants harvested from the mountainous regions of Oaxaca, resulting in a distinctively earthy and complex flavor profile. Unlike many commercial mezcals, Bozal employs traditional production methods, including clay pot distillation, which imparts subtle mineral notes and a velvety texture that sets it apart from its peers.
Bozal Mezcal Espadin shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its complex smoky and herbal notes to unfold on the palate. While it makes an excellent base for agave-forward cocktails, this mezcal is particularly well-suited for cooler autumn evenings, paired with rich, grilled meats or spicy Mexican dishes that complement its robust flavor profile.
Nose: Smoky and earthy with hints of roasted agave. Green herbs like cilantro and oregano mingle with citrus zest. A touch of minerality reminiscent of wet stone.
Palate: Smooth entry with a medium-bodied mouthfeel. Charred mesquite and cooked agave flavors dominate. Notes of lime, black pepper, and a subtle sweetness akin to honeydew melon. The smokiness is present but not overpowering.
Finish: Long and warming. The smoke lingers, accompanied by a peppery spice. Hints of dark chocolate and leather emerge. A slight astringency leaves the mouth feeling clean and ready for another sip.
Bozal Mezcal Espadin is crafted using traditional methods in Oaxaca, Mexico, where ripe espadin agave hearts are roasted in underground pit ovens, crushed by a horse-drawn tahona wheel, and fermented in open-air wooden vats. The resulting mash is then double-distilled in small copper pot stills, preserving the agave's natural flavors and capturing the essence of its terroir in each sip.
