🔥 Meet the lineup: BOZAL Mezcal Artesanal 🔥🌵
✨ Espadín-Mexicano (Barril) – Smooth and approachable with a little depth. Perfect intro mezcal with subtle smoke and earthy notes.
🖤 Tobalá Reserva – Rare and bold. Wild agave = richer, more complex flavors with a slightly sweet finish. For the true mezcal lovers.
💚 Cuishe – Herbal, bright, and a little wild. Unique agave that brings out green, vegetal notes with a clean finish.
🤎 Pechuga (Sacrificio) – The most special of them all. Distilled with fruits & spices for a rich, layered flavor you won’t forget.
Which one are you trying ? 👀🥃
