All of our Mezcal expressions are finished with a double distillation process in small batch copper pots.”

”One of the most revered of all agave species due to its scarcity and relatively small physical size, Tobalá agave has a growing period of up to 30 years. Banhez Tobalá is known for its intense aromatics and smooth flavor profile with tasting notes consisting of green mango, leather, and fresh green herbs. ”

It has a body and an acidity in the mouth that highlights smoke and fruit.
This majestic ensemble comes from one of the appellation’s most undiscovered territories. It is also one to cherish as it represents a rare opportunity to explore an area with complex violence problems which make it hard to visit. Maestro mezcalero Cuauhtémoc Jaquez delivers a stunning ensemble with a blend of 3 different agaves: Tamaulipas endemic Funkiana and Univittata, together with Americana. The result is a high-energy spirit that feels sweet, dry and rich with multiple layers of flavor and aroma.
100% artisanal and sustainable Mezcal produced with Espadín agave from Oaxaca and Tobalá from Puebla.
This agave is cultivated and wild for this expression. We roast 90 hours under ground, straight into maceration and fermentation, ferment 120 hours, and proceed to double distill.
This particular batch was 8 tons; 4 of which were regular sized blue weber and 4 tons were criollo blue weber, all farmed and cultivated in Indaparapeo. Criollo are small heirloom agaves that have more sugar and flavor than their bigger counterparts. The aromas it gave off after cooking and the taste were amazing.
On the palate, the effect is sweet, with strong quince and anise features. Earthy flavor, on a background of herbs and roots.
On the steep precarious hillsides of Oaxaca, Guerrero and Durango varieties of agave, indigenous to the region, grow wild and are heavily sought after by the local mezcaleros. These varietals produce flavors that are exotically intense, with rich earth tones and savory smokiness. From the heart of the maguey these flavors are traditionally extracted to produce mezcal that is wildly refined. Because we at bozal believe that something wild produces a far richer spirit.

Del Maguey brings you a special limited edition from our Vino De Mezcal™ series made in lush, remote San Luis del Rio, Oaxaca where the Red Ant river flows.
