Bozal Ensamble

Bozal Mezcal is produced in small batches across Oaxaca and Guerrero, working with local mezcaleros who maintain traditional production methods passed down through generations. The Ensamble expression blends multiple agave varieties, typically combining Espadin with wild agaves such as Barril and Mexicano, creating a layered spirit that showcases the complexity possible when different plant profiles meet in a single bottle. The agaves are roasted in earthen pit ovens lined with volcanic rock, crushed using traditional tahona stones, naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats, and double distilled in copper pot stills. This artisanal approach results in a mezcal that carries the signature smoke of pit-roasting while allowing the distinct character of each agave variety to emerge. Bozal sources from high-altitude regions in Oaxaca where cooler temperatures and mineral-rich soil produce agaves with pronounced sweetness and complexity. The brand packages their mezcal in distinctive clay vessels, though the 750ml format uses standard glass. For anyone interested in exploring how blending different agave varieties creates depth beyond single-variety expressions, this bottle offers an accessible entry point into the world of ensamble mezcals without sacrificing authenticity or craft credentials.
