100% Natural Bosscal Joven – GSN’s Remarks: Calmly candy with agave character, and enrobed in a smokey woodfire garment. Very clear, medium in physique, and with a lingering mushy creosote coloration. One of many higher natural spirits we’ve had. Attempt it in a Division Bell, Loaded Pistol, Backyard Bitter or just by itself. GSN Score: A
Bosscal Pechuga de Conejo – GSN’s Remarks: Together with pechuga de conejo (breast of rabbit), Bosscal makes use of native apples within the distillate, making a fruited meat character just like what you may discover in a mincemeat pie. There’s nonetheless the smokiness, however when added to what the apple and rabbit convey to the desk, all of it appears fairly festive and considerably medieval. It is a conventional type of spirit that’s nigh unimaginable to seek out outdoors of native villages and cities in Mexico. We applaud Bosscal for providing this effectively crafted and obscure mezcal to a wider viewers. GSN Score: A+
