Bozal Sacatoro
Sacatoro from Guerrero – Bozal's unusual northern Mexican agave in the range

- Producer: Bozal Mezcal
- Region: Mazatlán, Guerrero
- Agave: Sacatoro
- ABV: 44.8%
- Price: $90 ($$)
Verdict
Sacatoro is a Guerrero agave that sits outside the more familiar papalote and cupreata lineup – Bozal's sourcing is what makes the bottle available at all. Dry-grass, northern, specific. Buy it for the Guerrero vocabulary the commercial tier won't teach you; it's the bottle that justifies Bozal's model even when the score isn't top-tier.
Sacatoro is another vocabulary bottle worth shelf space
Tasting notes
Nose: Green herb, then dry earth, faint smoke, warm stone and a trace of dried hay
Palate: Lean at 44.8%. Sacatoro is a Guerrero-region vocabulary agave, rarely bottled, legitimately different from the more common Guerrero papalote or cupreata
Finish: Cooling, dry, with a slow herb fade, long
The bottom line
A solid Bozal wild
