The Bozal Cempaschil Reserva Mezcal is a rare ancestral-expression mezcal that honors ancient traditions and the sacred Mexican marigold flower known as Cempaschil. Distilled in clay pot stills using 100% wild-harvested Espadn agave from Etla, Oaxaca, this Reserva is crafted using time-honored methods passed down over generations. What sets this mezcal apart is its ceremonial finishing process: in the final distillation, Cempaschil flowers and mandarin peels are dropped into the still, imparting ethereal floral aromatics and a delicate citrus lift.
