  Bozal Mezcal Single Maguey Cuishe Mexico 70 cl 47%

  Item no.: 22227865479-2021-02-0004

  Cuishe is one of the most unusual agaves in Oaxaca – a wild variety that grows vertically as a single stalk. This single-varietal mezcal from Bozal shows why the trouble of harvesting it is worth taking.

  Expert Description

  Bozal Mezcal Single Maguey Cuishe is a Mexican Joven Mezcal from Oaxaca, made from 100% wild Karwinskii agave and bottled at 47%.

  Bozal Mezcal sources this Cuishe from the pueblo area of Zochitlan Rio Seco in Oaxaca. Cuishe is a subspecies of Agave karwinskii and one of the most physically distinct agaves used for mezcal – it grows vertically as a single stalk with its leaves clustered at the top, and its unusually firm pina makes the plant demanding to harvest and process. The agave is cooked in earthen pit ovens, crushed by a stone tahona wheel, and fermented in the open air with natural yeast before being double-distilled in copper pot stills.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Intense citrus with a touch of burnt orange and honeysuckle.

  Palate

  Notes of tropical fruit carried by a clear mineral character.

  Finish

  Dry, with a touch of pine and stone.

  Item no.: 22227865479-2021-02-0006

  On the steep, rocky cliffsides of Oaxaca grows the Tepeztate agave, with its erratic leaf pattern – one of the most demanding agaves to find. The reward is a mezcal with a powerful, floral character.

  Expert Description

  Bozal Mezcal Single Maguey Tepeztate is a Mexican Joven Mezcal from Oaxaca, made from 100% wild Marmorata agave and bottled at 49%.

  Bozal Mezcal sources this Tepeztate from the pueblo area of Santa Ana del Rio in Oaxaca. Tepeztate is a subspecies of Agave marmorata, known for its distinctly erratic leaf structure, and the plant thrives best on steep, rocky cliffsides.

The agave is cooked in earthen pit ovens, crushed by a stone tahona wheel, and fermented in the open air with natural yeast before being double-distilled in copper pot stills.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Herbaceous, with wet stone, grapefruit zest, orange blossom and pine.

  Palate

  Floral notes and white pepper, carried by a clear mineral character.

  Finish

  Spiced and lingering, with a touch of minerals.
