Bozal Tobalá Reserva Mezcal
The "Crown Jewel" of Wild Agave
Bozal Tobalá is an artisanal masterpiece that captures the rugged, untamed spirit of the Oaxacan highlands. Crafted from the rare Agave Potatorum, this mezcal is a tribute to patience and tradition. Because the tiny Tobalá agave yields only a fraction of the fermentable sugars of larger species, it requires a large number of plants and 12–15 years of maturation to produce a single batch.
Produced in San Juan Bautista Jayacatlán, this mezcal is pit-roasted, crushed by tahona, and open-air fermented to preserve the complex characteristics of the high-altitude terrain. The result is a spirit that balances "wild" intensity with a surprisingly delicate, floral finish.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: An inviting bouquet of bright citrus and white flowers, grounded by a subtle, damp earthiness and a whisper of sweet pine needle.
- Palate: The mouthfeel is viscous and complex. Initial notes of creamy tropical fruit (mango and papaya) transition into a robust savory smoke and cracked black pepper.
- Finish: Long and refined. It leaves a lingering sensation of roasted agave sweetness balanced by a dry, mineral salinity that reflects the steep, rocky hillsides where the agave grows.

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.
