BOZAL Madrecuishe Single Maguey 750 ml

Bozal Madrecuishe Single Maguey is a mezcal made from madrecuishe, a wild agave variety valued for a fuller, spicier profile than cultivated espadin. Part of the Bozal portfolio's focus on single-varietal, small-producer bottlings, it comes from traditional palenques where the agave hearts are pit-roasted, crushed by hand or with a tahona, fermented in open-air vats, and double-distilled in copper stills. That slower, hands-on process tends to produce a smokier, earthier mezcal than more industrial methods, with the madrecuishe agave adding a distinct green, slightly peppery edge on top of the usual smoke. Best approached slowly, the way single-varietal mezcal is meant to be tasted.

How to drink Bozal Madrecuishe Single Maguey

Sip it neat in a copita to taste what madrecuishe specifically brings versus other wild agaves. Pair it with an orange slice and sal de gusano, the traditional accompaniment, if you have it on hand.
