Process & Profile

Bozal Mezcal Jabalí Reserva is a rare mezcal made from 100% agave Jabalí, also known as agave Convallis. This wild agave is one of the most difficult varieties to work with in mezcal production because it naturally foams and expands during fermentation and distillation, creating a more challenging and unpredictable process for the mezcalero.

Produced in Sola de Vega, Oaxaca, Bozal Jabalí Reserva is crafted using the ancestral method and distilled in clay pot stills. This traditional production approach helps preserve the earthy, mineral, herbal, and deeply expressive character that makes Jabalí mezcal so sought after among serious agave spirits drinkers. The result is a distinctive mezcal with bold aromatics, green vegetal flavor, and a peppery finish.

The profile is exotic, wild, and highly individual. Aromas of lavender and sage lead into bright green notes of celery, parsley, herbs, earth, and subtle smoke. The finish carries lingering black pepper, minerality, and savory depth. For customers looking for a rare agave mezcal, clay pot distilled mezcal, or a collector-level bottle with true ancestral character, Bozal Mezcal Jabalí Reserva is a standout expression.

How to Enjoy

Bozal Mezcal Jabalí Reserva is best enjoyed neat in a copita or small clay mezcal cup so its herbal, mineral, vegetal, and peppery character can open gradually. Let it rest briefly before sipping to allow the lavender, sage, celery, parsley, earth, and subtle smoke to become more expressive.

A few drops of water can help soften the proof and bring forward more herbal and mineral notes. This is best treated as a sipping mezcal rather than a standard cocktail base because of its rarity, ancestral production, and unusual agave character. It pairs well with grilled seafood, roasted vegetables, mole verde, ceviche, herb-heavy dishes, citrus, chile, and salty snacks.
