Part of our Reserva tier, Barril is produced in the pueblo of Santa Cantarina Minas, Oaxaca by Francisco Mendoza in the Ancestral style. A slight sweetness is evident with flavors of agave, honey and river stone, finishing with a floral aftertaste.

The aromatics are herbaceous and spicy with notes of forest grass and anise flower. A slight sweetness is evident on the unctuous palate with flavors of agave, honey and river stone, finishing with a floral aftertaste.

Spanish term, bozal, translates to "wild" or "untamed." We chose this name for our 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 our family-operated distilleries, or mezcaleros, to distill small batches in those same locations.

Bozal Mezcal was founded in 2016 and started with an intial release of 4 expressions. To date we have released upwards of 30 unique mezcal expressions. We currently source from three separate mezcal producing Mexican states including Oaxaca, Guerrero. We take pride in the fact that we work with small family owned palenques and chose to highlight the mezcalero on all expression tasting notes. NOM-0472X
