Bozal Chino Verde Mezcal

Bozal Chino Verde Mezcal is a rare and captivating expression built around one of the most elusive agave varieties in artisanal mezcal production. Rooted in the wild-harvest tradition that defines Bozal's philosophy, this bottling offers a genuinely singular window into the complexity that only uncommon agave can deliver.

Bozal Mezcal has long championed small-batch, traditionally crafted spirits sourced from some of Mexico's most biodiverse agave-growing regions. The Chino Verde agave, a lesser-known and slow-maturing variety, lends this mezcal a distinctive character shaped by its environment and the hands-on production methods passed down through generations of maestros mezcaleros. Stone-pit roasting, tahona milling, and open-air fermentation are hallmarks of the process behind expressions like this one.

• Nose: Earthy and herbaceous aromas with layers of roasted agave, green botanicals, and a subtle whisper of smoke
• Palate: Rich and savory with notes of cooked agave, wild herbs, mineral depth, and a touch of tropical fruit
• Finish: Long and lingering with a gentle smokiness, dry earth, and a clean herbal resonance

Bozal Chino Verde Mezcal holds its own beautifully in a Mezcal Negroni or a smoky Mezcal Sour, though its complexity truly shines when sipped neat and given time to breathe.

Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the agave character fully express itself. This expression is crafted from Chino Verde agave, a rare wild variety central to the artisanal mezcal traditions of Oaxaca.
