Bozal Mezcal is sourced from various regions in Mexico, specifically Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Durango. These regions are known for their rich agave-growing traditions and produce some of the finest Mezcal in the country.
Oaxaca, in particular, is considered the heartland of Mezcal production. It is a region with a long-standing history of cultivating and distilling agave. The diverse microclimates and fertile soils of Oaxaca contribute to the unique flavors and aromas found in Mezcal from this region. The wild agave varieties used in Bozal Mezcal are grown in the hard-to-reach, uncultivated lands of Oaxaca, ensuring a truly untamed and authentic expression of the spirit.
Guerrero, another region where Bozal sources its agave, is located on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. This region is known for its rugged mountains and lush forests, providing the perfect conditions for wild agave to thrive. The agave plants harvested in Guerrero contribute their own distinct characteristics to the final product, adding depth and complexity to Bozal Mezcal.
Durango, located in the northern part of Mexico, is a lesser-known region for Mezcal production but is gaining recognition for its high-quality spirits. The wild agave species found in Durango are often more robust and resilient, as they have adapted to the harsh climate and rocky terrain of the area. These unique growing conditions result in Mezcal with a distinct character and flavor profile.
By sourcing agave from these different regions, Bozal Mezcal showcases the diversity and richness of Mexican terroir. Each region brings its own unique elements to the final product, resulting in a Mezcal that is both wild and refined. The combination of these different agave varieties and growing regions creates a truly exceptional and authentic Mezcal experience.
Personally, I have had the opportunity to visit Oaxaca and witness the agave cultivation and Mezcal production process firsthand. The dedication and passion of the local producers in maintaining traditional techniques and honoring the heritage of Mezcal is truly inspiring. It is evident that Bozal Mezcal is committed to sourcing the finest agave from these regions and showcasing the true essence of Mexican Mezcal.
