Bozal Tobasiche Mezcal (750ml)

Distiller’s Notes:

Agave – A subspecies of the Karwinskii family of agave, Tobasiche is a wild agave that needs twelve to thirteen years to fully mature. This agave is typically characterized by its herbaceous and cedar-like aromatics with an earthy finish.

We use an artisanal approach toward production in order to create an unadulterated style of mezcal. In keeping with the 200-year-old tradition, the agave hearts are cooked in earthen pit ovens, later to be crushed and mashed by a stone tahona wheel turned by a pair of oxen. Without the addition of artificial yeast, open-air fermentation allows the sugars to ferment utilizing naturally occurring yeast. The mezcal is then purified through a double distillation process.

This mezcal exerts traces of quince, anise and a strong minerality with a sweet nose. The bouquet is complemented by rich, herbaceous botanicals on the finish.
