Casa Volador Damiana

Damiana-infused Durango cenizo – another commercial take on the category

Score: 3.0/5 agaves

Casa Volador Damiana bottle
  • Producer: Casa Volador Mezcal, Total Wine Spirits Direct
  • Region: Durango
  • Agave: Cenizo
  • ABV: 42%
  • Price: $39 ($)

Verdict

Damiana-infused cenizo is a traditional Durango format – Bosscal does the specialty version; Casa Volador is the grocery-store version. At 42% the herbal-floral register reads structural rather than decorative, which is the test this format fails more often than it passes. Buy it if you want northern infusion at store-brand economics; buy Bosscal's if you want the tradition done at caliber.
