Bosscal Joven
Bosscal's standard cenizo – a gateway Durango at accessible proof
Score: 3.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Bosscal Mezcal
- Region: Durango
- Agave: Cenizo
- ABV: 42%
- Price: $50 ($$)
Verdict
The agave is legitimate and the production is clean, the proof is the category-introduction choice rather than a specialty-tier commitment. Durango has louder representatives (Burrito Fiestero's verde and 50% cenizo) when drinkers are ready. Buy Bosscal as the gateway, climb to Burrito Fiestero when the gateway starts feeling quiet.
A workable Durango for cocktails and gateway sipping
Tasting notes
Nose: Pine, then dry hay, warm stone
Palate: Lean and northern at 42%. The standard cenizo profile at accessible proof, agreeable, respectable, not particularly distinctive against the tougher Durango producers like Burrito Fiestero or Derrumbes
Finish: Cooling, dry, with a slow pine fade. Stays medium-long
The bottom line
Fine at its price point
