Bozal Cempasúchil Reserva Mezcal

The Bozal Cempasúchil Reserva Mezcal is a rare ancestral-expression mezcal that honors ancient traditions and the sacred Mexican marigold flower known as Cempasúchil. Distilled in clay pot stills using 100% wild-harvested Espadín agave from Etla, Oaxaca, this Reserva is crafted using time-honored methods passed down over generations. What sets this mezcal apart is its ceremonial finishing process: in the final distillation, Cempasúchil flowers and mandarin peels are dropped into the still, imparting ethereal floral aromatics and a delicate citrus lift.

Why Buy Bozal Cempasúchil Reserva Mezcal?
Because this is not just mezcal—it’s a living expression of Mexican culture, terroir, and ancient ritual. Produced in extremely limited quantities using the Ancestral Method (clay pot distillation, no artificial yeast, and hand-milled agave), this bottling represents the purest and most traditional form of mezcal production. Each sip reveals the natural connection between land, plant, and spirit—wildly complex, deeply aromatic, and spiritually evocative.

The Background
On the steep hillsides of Oaxaca, agave grows wild in volcanic soil, absorbing minerals, sunlight, and the natural elements of the region. Bozal believes what is wild produces a spirit that is richer, deeper, and more honest. Guided by mezcaleros who preserve centuries-old practices, the Espadín agave is roasted in earthen pit ovens, hand-milled with wooden mallets, naturally fermented, and distilled in clay pots—an ancestral method nearly lost to time.

TASTING NOTES
This unique offering opens with bright aromas of citrus, late season florals and a touch of baking spice, particularly allspice. The elements used in the final distillation show through on the palate, rounding out fresh flavors of green pepper with orange zest, nutmeg, and anise. Hints of black pepper add spice to the slight smokiness of the mezcal on a smooth and long finish.

Espadín
The Espadín agave, known as the genetic Mother of the Blue Weber Agave, is used to produce tequila, and is also the predominant agave used in mezcal production. Unique in itself, the characteristics of this agave showcase the aromas of wet earth, a rich smokiness on the mid-palate, and a finish reminiscent of wild flowers.
