Herbal Character from Santa María Zoquitlán and Dry Profile
The Mezcal El Jolgorio Jabalí Special Edition 750 ml belongs to the special release line of El Jolgorio, created by the renowned Casa Mezcalera Cortés, a mezcal 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 with wild Jabalí Agave (Agave convallis), a species that takes between 16 and 18 years to mature and whose name alludes to the curved shape of its leaves, resembling the tusks of a wild boar. It is distilled by master mezcalero Ignacio “Don Chucho” Parada in Santa María Zoquitlán, Oaxaca, Mexico, a community located between two rivers. Jabalí is one of the most difficult agaves to work with because it produces abundant foam during fermentation and distillation. It is a dry profile mezcal, with no added sugars or flavorings, distilled in a copper still, produced in very small batches, and presented in a black glass bottle.
