Bozal Chino Verde Reserva is a single-agave mezcal made from wild Chino Verde agave, a member of the karwinskii family, bottled at 47% ABV.
The agave is foraged in the remote Sierra Madre del Sur and left to mature seven to nine years before harvest.
It is roasted in earthen pit ovens and distilled in small clay pots in Sola de Vega, Oaxaca.
Aromas of spiced orange are complemented by hints of smooth tobacco, caramel and fresh-cut grass.
Chino Verde is rarely bottled on its own, and Bozal's Reserva line celebrates such uncommon agaves. Its tall, textured black bottle makes it a striking gift for a mezcal collector.
