The Richness of Santiago Matatlán and a Dry Profile
The Mezcal El Jolgorio Sierrudo Special Edition 750 ml belongs to the special release line of El Jolgorio, created by the renowned Casa Mezcalera Cortés, an Oaxacan mezcal family 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 crafted with wild Sierrudo Agave, a subvariety of Agave americana related to Arroqueño and Coyote. It is a huge agave: it takes between 13 and 15 years to mature, can weigh nearly 450 kilos, and concentrates many natural sugars, although very little is used in mezcal. It is crafted by Don José Cortés in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico, known as the world capital of mezcal. Don José is a historic figure of the Cortés family and the inspiration for the entire El Jolgorio line, and his special batches are small and highly sought after. It is a dry profile mezcal, with no added sugars or flavorings, presented in a limited edition. Purchase it with a guarantee of authenticity at LaCava.shop.
