help Bozal FAQ

Is Bozal a luggage company or a mezcal brand?

Bozal is a mezcal brand, not a luggage maker. Its spirits feature agave sourced from regions including Oaxaca, Guerrero and Durango in Mexico.

Are all Bozal mezcals distilled in clay pots?

No. Bozal specifically uses clay-pot distillation for its Reserva expressions made in the ancestral style, while other releases may use different artisanal production methods.

What is the difference between Bozal Single Maguey and Ensamble bottles?

Single Maguey releases focus on one non-Espadín agave variety, while Ensamble bottles combine multiple magueys. Bozal also offers Reserva and Sacrificio collections with distinct production traditions.

Why is Bozal Tobalá harder to produce than common Espadín mezcal?

Bozal says Tobalá can take 12 to 15 years to mature and grows from seed, limiting available quantities. Its Tobalá Reserva uses 100 percent Agave potatorum from Sola de Vega, Oaxaca, with clay-pot distillation.
