Ancestral Character from Sola de Vega and Dry Profile
The Mezcal Ancestral El Jolgorio Coyote 750 ml belongs to the Ancestral line of El Jolgorio, created by the renowned Casa Mezcalera Cortés, a mezcal-making family from Oaxaca with over a century of tradition. The name “jolgorio” evokes the parties of the Oaxacan towns, and this bottle is made to celebrate them. It is made in Sola de Vega, in the Sierra Sur of Oaxaca, Mexico, one of the few communities where distillation in clay pots is preserved, by master mezcalera Justina Ruiz Pérez and the Ruiz family. With this expression, El Jolgorio presented its first mezcal distilled by a woman and in clay pots. It is an ancestral mezcal, the most traditional expression of mezcal: the agave is cooked underground, ground by hand with wooden mallets, fermented in wooden vats, and distilled in clay pots. It is made with Coyote Agave (Agave americana), a large and slow-growing subvariety that can take around 14 years to mature. It has a dry profile, with no added sugars or flavorings, and stands out for its mineral and spicy character, with tropical fruit. Due to the low yield of clay pots, each batch is very small.
