"Dobadaan and Mexicano are synonymous (same varietal of Agave rhodacantha, just a different name).  I believe the term “dobadaan” was popularized by Jonathan Barbeiri, founder of Pierde Almas.  He told me that he found dobadaan was an old colloquial term for mexicano and it resonated with him, so he used it.  The Marca Negra Dobadaan, clocking in at 48%, is really wonderful.  It is not as fruity on the nose as the arroqueno, but still coaxes you in.  The taste is full of ripe banana, and it also brings in spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.  It is really good and I could drink this all day (at least until I pass out)."
