Product Description
A carefully crafted mezcal from Bozal, this approachable spirit tends to please many who try it. It opens with soft smoky agave and green-pepper aromas, followed by tropical-fruit sweetness and crisp citrus tones, and finishes clean with a hint of minerality.
About Bozal Mezcal
Bozal (the Spanish word for “wild / untamed”) is a mezcal brand focused on wild species of agave in Oaxaca, Guerrero and Durango, produced in small batches via traditional methods. Sustainability-oriented, Bozal plants two magueys for every one harvested in its wild-nursery programme.
About Mezcal Pechuga
Mezcal Pechuga is a traditional style in which a finished mezcal is redistilled with seasonal fruits, spices, and a raw protein—often a chicken, turkey, or other local meat—hung inside the still. According to Mezcal Reviews, this process infuses the spirit with aromatic depth and a silky texture while retaining its underlying agave character. Because the protein and botanicals are added during a final distillation rather than after, Pechuga mezcals typically show gentle spice, soft fruit notes, and rounded minerality, making them some of the most ceremonial and labor-intensive expressions in mezcal production.
