Distiller Notes
Bosscal Joven Mezcal is 100% Artisanal & Handcrafted and USDA Organic. Slow cooked with volcanic rock in artisanal earth ovens. Agave is ground by hand with axes and fermented in oak wood vats. Double distilled in stainless steel stills. Unaged, excellent Agave durangensis from Durango. On the nose, slightly herbal with flowers and minerals quickly becoming all tropical fruit. Tart and sweet at the same time – like passion fruit. Light smoke; very crisp taste. Smooth with citrus, orange, and blood orange flavours. The tartness of the nose carries to the palate creating great balance. Gold Medal winner at the Spirits of Mexico. Gold Medal winner at Wine & Spirits Competition in LA, SF, NYC.

Intense herbaceous nose; floral and earthy, rustic and long
Mezcal Joven or “young” is bottled within two months of distillation without barrel aging and will appear clear, like a Vodka or Gin. Longer barrel aging, with the principal aim to soften and round a spirit’s flavor profile, is often most prized by connoisseurs. However, many die-hard Mezcal enthusiasts insist that oak takes away from the purity of the agave flavors—ranging from earthy and smoky to sweet and floral, often in the same Mezcal—and that Mezcal Joven is the best expression.
