Bozal Mezcal Jabalí Reserva 750ml
Bozal Mezcal Jabalí Reserva 750ml
Introducing Bozal Jabalí, a mezcal crafted with utmost care and traditional methods. This exceptional mezcal is made using Maguey Jabalí, a wild agave species, which undergoes a meticulous production process in the vibrant community of Sola de Vega, Oaxaca.
To create Bozal Jabalí, the mature Maguey Jabalí plants are carefully harvested and then cooked in underground pit ovens, infusing them with a distinct smoky flavor. After cooking, the agave hearts are crushed by hand, preserving their natural essence.
The crushed agave is fermented in open-air wooden tanks, where naturally occurring yeasts work their magic. This natural fermentation process imparts unique flavors and aromas to the mezcal, adding complexity to its character.
Once fermentation is complete, the agave fibers and juices are distilled in small clay pots, a traditional method used for generations. This meticulous distillation process further refines the flavors and captures the essence of the Maguey Jabalí.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
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.
