Bozal Espadin-Barril Mezcal
Bozal means "wild" or "untamed," and the Ensamble is the bottle that made the brand — a three-agave blend Mezcal Reviews' drinkers call the best multipurpose mezcal under $50 on the shelf. It marries cultivated espadín with two wild agaves: barril, an Agave karwinskii so thick-leaved that Oaxacans plant it as fencing, bringing citrus and florals, and mexicano, an Agave rhodacantha that adds a warm, viscous finish. Made by family mezcaleros — Fermín García, Lucio Bautista, or Don Adrián Bautista, in San Dionisio Ocotepec or Ejutla de Crespo; check your bottle — the agaves are pit-roasted, crushed, fermented, and copper-pot distilled, bottled at 47% ABV in the rustic ceramic bottle modeled on the terracotta copitas mezcal is sipped from. Wine Enthusiast found a concentrated smoky profile from start to finish: menthol and mint over vanilla-sugar sweetness, a smoky, piney mid-palate like embers in a forest, and a fiery, smoky-menthol finish. Mezcal Reviews' tasters found it grassy and fresh with white pepper, ginger, mint, cinnamon, and pencil shavings, finishing on mushroom and grapefruit — punchy but refreshing. Old Town Tequila's customers rank it above Del Maguey Vida and Monte Albán, and note their favorite Bozal is also the cheapest. Honest note: it's mass-produced and widely distributed, and it holds up anyway. For a Mezcal Negroni, a Naked & Famous, a smoky Margarita, or neat in a copita, it's the gateway to Bozal's wild-agave reservas.
