El Jolgorio Mexicano Mezcal

El Jolgorio Mexicano is the expression that most consistently surprises experienced mezcal drinkers with its sheer complexity — and the one that earned perhaps the most impassioned review in the entire El Jolgorio canon, described as "easily the most interesting agave spirit I've tasted so far." Made from 100% wild Maguey Mexicano — also known as Agave rhodacantha or Dobadaan in certain Oaxacan communities — a large agave that grows to be quite substantial and requires at least ten years of maturity before harvest. El Jolgorio Mexicano is distilled by Mezcalero Regulo Martinez Parada in Río Seco, Oaxaca using traditional pit-roasting, mule-drawn tahona crushing, open-air fermentation, and copper alembic distillation — each batch producing as few as 665 to 780 bottles, hand-numbered and hand-marked with the specific mezcalero, harvest year, and batch details. The character is genuinely unlike any other variety in the lineup — sitting somewhere between the earthy Cuixe and the fruity Tobalá but with its own unmistakable personality. Reviewers describe a nose of tropical forest petrichor, pungent flowers, roasted agave, and maple that opens into a palate of butterscotch praline, cinnamon sugar, sweet agave, and warming spice — with the finish going on longer than virtually any other agave spirit they've encountered, constantly evolving with agave, lavender, lilac, and earthy sweetness as the minutes pass. A mezcal that rewards patience above all. Each bottle hand-marked with its mezcalero, harvest date, and batch number. Buy El Jolgorio Mexicano Mezcal online with fast shipping right to your door.
