Bozal Tobala

Oaxaca

Bozal Tobala Joven is a mezcal produced from the small wild agave species. This expression presents a savory profile marked by cured meats, brine, and earthy tones alongside sweet fruit notes like mango and guava. Palate sensations include dark chocolate, pepper, and a medium oily mouthfeel that some find soft and beginner friendly. Aromatic elements range from lactic cream and coffee to clean minerals and floral hints. The finish varies by lot, offering dry earthiness or slight ash, while the spirit maintains a distinct character defined by its unique terroir and artisanal production methods.

Bozal Mezcal

About the Brand

Mezcal Bozal is a craft, artisan, handmade Mezcal. They celebrate the wild side of the Mezcal world and the wild agave used to produce such rich spirits. They use agave from the steep precarious hillsides of Oaxaca and Guerrero that are indigenous to the region. 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 refined. In November 2024, Bozal was acquired and brought under Mexican ownership by Maguey Spirits.
