{"title":"Bosscal","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBosscal was founded by brothers Verne and Nelson Nieves, raised in Florida by a mother exiled from Cuba and a father who'd immigrated from Uruguay, who released their first mezcal in 2015. Unlike most mezcal brands, which center on Oaxaca, Bosscal built its identity around Durango, Mexico — a region the brothers grew attached to for its underdog spirit, home to the legendary Pancho Villa. Every bottle uses only wild-grown Cenizo agave, hand-harvested and donkey-transported from the Durango highlands to Bosscal's own NOM-certified distillery under a trademarked \"Mountain to Market\" process, with a new agave pup replanted for every mature plant harvested. Fourth-generation Mezcalero Uriel Simental Enriquez oversees production alongside distiller Alan Hernandez, and the whole range carries organic certification from the USDA, EU, and SAGARPA Mexico. The lineup covers Joven, Damiana (infused with a stimulant herb that grows wild alongside the agave), and the rare Pechuga de Conejo, all bottled at 42% ABV. Bosscal has grown fast since going independent in 2023, and its signature Mezgarita cocktail is now reportedly the top-selling mezcal cocktail in America, served across more than 2,000 chain restaurants nationwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Bosscal collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bosscal-mezcal-joven","title":"Bosscal Mezcal Joven","description":"\u003cp\u003eBosscal is mezcal from Durango — the northern desert state, not Oaxaca — and Good Spirits News rated the Joven an A, one of the better organic spirits they'd tasted. The brand is a family business, first released in 2015, that owns its own distillery under NOM D248G and works on a \"mountain to market\" philosophy: fourth-generation mezcalero Uriel Simental Enríquez hand-selects wild, mountain-grown Agave durangensis — the cenizo of Durango's high, volcanic terrain — harvested at maturity with preservation in mind, pesticide-free and certified organic. It takes about 17 kilos of agave per liter, versus an industry average of 10. The agave is pit-roasted, crushed, naturally fermented, and distilled with distiller Alan Hernández in the traditional artisanal way, bottled at 42% ABV in a hand-blown bottle shaped like the volcanic tufa rocks that define Durango's terroir. GSN found it lightly sweet with agave character, wrapped in a smoky woodfire garment — very clean, medium-bodied, with a lingering soft creosote note. Bosscal's notes: citrus, particularly orange and blood orange, with sweet, tart, and floral notes across a balanced, lightly smoked palate. Expect a cleaner, more mineral, less earthy mezcal than Oaxacan espadín — the durangensis signature. For a Division Bell, a Mezcal Paloma, a Garden Sour, or neat, it's the desert's mezcal, and the base of the Damiana and Conejo. Organic, wild, and shaped like a rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Bosscal Mezcal Joven online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31849470722183,"sku":"C0002387L","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/BosscalJoven.jpg?v=1709417430"},{"product_id":"bosscal-conejo-mezcal","title":"Bosscal Conejo Mezcal","description":"\u003cp\u003ePechuga de Conejo is Durango's answer to the pechuga tradition, and the answer is rabbit. Pechuga is mezcal's ceremonial style — a third distillation with fruit, spices, and a raw breast of poultry hung in the still, made for weddings and funerals — and Bosscal, the family-run Durango house whose fourth-generation mezcalero Uriel Simental Enríquez works wild mountain Agave durangensis on a \"mountain to market\" philosophy, adapted it to the north: the organic Joven is redistilled with a breast of rabbit and local Durango apples, bottled at around 42% ABV in a hand-blown bottle shaped like the region's volcanic tufa rock. Good Spirits News found the rabbit and apple creating a fruited-meat character similar to a mincemeat pie — savory, faintly sweet, and unlike anything from Oaxaca. Expect a nose of baked apple, cooked agave, and a faint gamey savoriness, opening into a rounder, richer palate than the Joven, with orchard fruit, warm spice, a meaty umami depth, and the clean smoke of the durangensis base, finishing long and complex. Honest note: this is a specialty bottling, produced in small quantities, and pechuga is an acquired taste — a sipper for the curious, not a mixer. It comes in Bosscal's Full Moon Pack alongside the Joven and Damiana. For anyone who's had an Oaxacan pechuga and wants to taste the northern version, or a collector of the strange and traditional, it's the rabbit in the still.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Bosscal Conejo Mezcal online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43926685188352,"sku":"C0007446L","price":105.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/bosscalconejo.jpg?v=1696102598"},{"product_id":"bosscal-mezcal-damiana","title":"Bosscal Mezcal Damiana","description":"\u003cp\u003eDamiana is a flowering shrub that grows alongside agave in the mountains of Durango, and Mexican folk tradition has considered it an aphrodisiac and a tonic for stamina for centuries. Bosscal put it in the still. The family-run Durango house — whose fourth-generation mezcalero Uriel Simental Enríquez hand-selects wild, organic, mountain-grown Agave durangensis on a \"mountain to market\" philosophy — bases it on its A-rated organic Joven and adds damiana flowers during the second distillation, so the herb's character is distilled into the spirit rather than infused after, bottled at around 42% ABV in a hand-blown bottle shaped like the region's volcanic tufa rock. Bosscal describes it as crisp and smooth with herbal notes from the damiana flower. Expect the Joven's clean, citrusy, lightly smoked durangensis character with a distinct herbal layer — something between chamomile, green tea, and a faint honeyed floral — threaded through, finishing smooth with a lingering botanical note. Honest note: this is a flavored mezcal in the sense that a botanical gin is flavored — the herb is a distilled ingredient, not a sweetener — and it's built for drinkers who want their mezcal with a story. For a Mezcal Negroni with an herbal edge, a Damiana Margarita, or neat as a digestif with a purpose, it's the most unusual bottle in Bosscal's Full Moon Pack. Organic, wild, and reputedly good for the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Bosscal Mezcal Damiana online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481684701440,"sku":"C0008202L","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/BosscalDominana.jpg?v=1709417180"}],"url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/collections\/bosscal.oembed","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
