Introducing Bozal Mezcal Borrego Sacrificio 750ml, a limited-release mezcal that showcases the unique and daring approach of using a leg of lamb in the distillation process. This mezcal pushes boundaries and offers a one-of-a-kind experience for adventurous spirits enthusiasts.
Bozal Borrego follows a similar production method as a traditional pechuga mezcal but with a twist. Instead of a chicken breast, a leg of lamb is used in the still, infusing the mezcal with the rich and savory lamb flavors. This unconventional approach adds depth and complexity to the final product.
Crafted with wild maguey Castilla, a close relative to maguey Espadin, Bozal Borrego captures the essence of this unique agave variety. During the second distillation, a basket containing the leg of lamb, along with seasonal wild fruits and grains sourced from the local market, is suspended inside the still. The wild fruits, including strawberries, apples, and pineapple, contribute a fruity and vibrant character to the mezcal. Additionally, ingredients such as pecans and ginger further enhance the aromatic and flavor profile.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
