Bozal Castilla Reserva Metodo Ancestral Mezcal (750mL)

Agave: castilla
Part of the American Oaxacensis agave family, the Castilla is a close cousin to the Espadín agave. Smaller in size than an Espadín and often discovered more in the wild, this agave is
heavily influenced by its terroir. Sourced from deep in the heart of the Oaxaca valley close to a river, the agave added fruit forward notes.

Production:
We use an artisanal approach toward production in order to create an unadulterated style of mezcal. In keeping with the 200-year-old tradition, the agave hearts are cooked in earthen pit ovens, later to be crushed and mashed by a tahona wheel. Without the addition of artificial yeast, clay pot cold fermentation allows the sugars to ferment. Our mezcaleros then follow the “Ancestral” tradition by strictly using clay pot distillation to produce our mezcal. An ancient
practice that is synonymous with the traditions of the local people.

Taste:
Driven by the region that the Castilla was sourced from, the aromatics are fruit forward and earthy. A slight sweetness is evident on the palate with flavors of roasted agave, mocha
and fresh mint and pepper, finishing smooth with subtle hints of smoke.
