Bozal Cuishe Mezcal

Cuishe is a distinctive mezcal crafted from a unique subspecies of the Karwinskii agave family. This agave grows vertically with its leaves at the top, taking twelve years to mature. The challenging nature of its harvest, due to the firmer piña material in the stalk, contributes to its complexity.

Bozal produces this mezcal using traditional methods: the agave hearts are cooked in earthen pit ovens and crushed by a stone tahona wheel turned by a donkey. The resulting spirit features intense citrus aromas with hints of burnt orange, honeysuckle, and herbaceous flowers. On the palate, raw honey and jalapeño spice blend with a strong minerality, leading to a smoky, wet stone finish.
