Bozal Mezcal Madrecuishe
Bozal Madrecuishe is a "wildly refined" mezcal that showcases the unique characteristics of the Agave karwinskii family. Growing in the arid, high-altitude terrain of San Luis Amatlán, Oaxaca, the Madrecuishe agave is known for its tall, cylindrical stalk and dense core. Because it has a lower water content than other varietals, it produces a spirit with exceptional concentration, high minerality, and a signature vegetal backbone.
Crafted using traditional Artesanal methods, the agave hearts are roasted in earthen pit ovens, crushed by a horse-drawn stone tahona, and fermented in open-air wooden vats with wild yeast. The result is a complex, earthy mezcal that captures the untamed spirit of the Oaxacan wild.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: A sophisticated and complex bouquet featuring aromas of ripe jalapeño, cocoa, and delicate floral notes. You may also catch hints of bright guava and earthy fern.
- Palate: A smooth, dry entry leads into a rich mid-palate of tropical fruits (passionfruit and honeydew) balanced by savory, earthy flavors of beet and sweet potato.
- Finish: Long and crisp with a distinct green pepper (capsicum) spice, lingering minerality, and a subtle touch of pollen and wood smoke.

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.
