Bosscal Mezcal Joven is a 100% artisanal, handcrafted and USDA Organic mezcal from Durango, Mexico, made from Agave durangensis and bottled at 84 proof (42% ABV).
Bosscal is a family-run business that released its first mezcal in 2015 and owns its distillery in Durango. Fourth-generation mezcalero Uriel Simental Enriquez hand-selects mountain-grown agaves under the brand's Mountain to Market philosophy: the agave is wild grown, free of pesticides and hand-picked at age. It takes an average of 17 kilos of agave to make one liter of Bosscal.
The agave is slow cooked with volcanic rock in artisanal earth ovens, ground by hand with axes, fermented in oak wood vats and double distilled. The result has light smoke and is very crisp and smooth, with citrus, orange and blood orange, some sweetness and tartness, and a well-balanced palate. Tropical fruit and herbs open the nose.
Its hand-blown bottle is shaped like the volcanic tufa rocks that create Durango's unique terroir, which makes it a striking gift.
Mezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.
Mezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.
