Bozal – Borrego

The Bozal Borrego Sacrificial is an artisanal created mezcal with Espadín and Tobala agaves. The production is seasonal and takes place at year-end. First, the agave is crushed by a stone tahona wheel moved by a bull, baked in earthen pit ovens, fermented and then distilled. During the second distillation, a leg of lamb, in addition to seasonal wild fruits and grains harvested from the local market, are suspended inside the bottom of the still in a basket. The mezcal’s dry mineral base is offset nicely with an abundance of fruit, herbaceous notes and nuttiness. A viscous entry coats the mouth leading to a fruit-forward mid-palate with subtle sweetness that shines with bright citrus and persimmons. The finish is smooth with flavours of smoked lamb.
