Bosscal Mezcal Joven, produced in the Mexican state of Durango, is crafted by a 4th generation Mezcalero. The agave is cooked with volcanic rock in earth ovens, then ground by hand before being fermented in oak wood vats and finally double-distilled. Bosscal Joven is a 100% organic, un-aged mezcal without chemical products or alterations. The nose gives off the agave, and light grassiness but you don’t get the typical wood fired smoky notes. That happens with subtlety on the palate, and the citrus and charred flavors announce themselves as well. There is a delightful viscous quality to this and the finish is fairly pronounced. There is also a mild burn, typical since this is joven (young) and there is definitely a light quality to this. I give it credit for being approachable and flavorful – it’s lightly smoky and rich, but it doesn’t offer much else. It’s just a well-balanced mezcal. I would suggest this to those who are curious about mezcal and wanting to begin tasting various mezcal, since the smoke element will not overwhelm. 90
