LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

Wild and wonderful. The addition of wild agaves gives it a funky, vegetal complexity that plain Espadín lacks. It tastes like the mountain.

The Library Note

Bozal means 'wild' or 'untamed' in Spanish. This expression blends cultivated Espadín with wild Barril and Mexicano agaves. The wild agaves grow on steep hillsides and struggle to survive, producing sugars that are far more complex and intense than farm-grown plants.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Earthy and herbaceous. Wet clay, green pepper, and floral smoke.

THE PALATE

Viscous and herbaceous. Notes of anise, granite, and roasted root vegetables.

THE FINISH

A lingering, savory smokiness.
