Bozal, Castilla, Mezcal Ancestral, 750ml

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, this agave has fruit forward notes.

Driven by the region that the Castilla was sourced from, the aromatics are rich, with weathered leather and earthy notes. A subtle measure of smoke complements the soft minerality of wet stone. Driven by flavors of cooked meats, chipotle peppers, and red ancho chili, the savory mouthfeel leads to a smooth finish with subtle hints of smoke.
