Bosscal Damiana
Durango cenizo distilled with damiana – a northern infusion tradition rendered credibly
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Bosscal Mezcal
- Region: Durango
- Agave: Cenizo
- ABV: 42%
- Price: $50 ($$)
Verdict
The cenizo base is recognizably Durango, and the damiana contributes structure rather than decoration. Distillation-with-damiana is the right approach for keeping the herb integrated; most infusions layer rather than build. A legitimate experimental bottle. Consensus 4.1 is enthusiastic; our read is 3.5 – the novelty factor inflates the community score.
Damiana infusion is a northern tradition done credibly here
Tasting notes
Nose: Pine with floral herb (the damiana signature), cooked cenizo and a faint mineral undertone
Palate: Lean and herbal at 42%. Damiana is a northern Mexican plant with a specific floral-herbal character; Bosscal's distillation-with-damiana (as opposed to post-distillation infusion) keeps the herbal notes integrated rather than layered on top
Finish: Cooling, dry, with a late floral note. Stays long
The bottom line
An unusual Durango pick if the damiana story interests you
