Created by the Cortés family, considered by many to be mezcal royalty, El Jolgorio has a fantastic collection of agave spirits. These are rare expressions: wild, semi-wild, and cultivated agaves, rare pechuga distillations, and small batches rested in glass for three, six, or as much as eighteen years before release. They source ethically, spreading out their agave collection so as to not over-harvest one region for a particular agave type and work all organically.

This bottle is 100% Madrecuishe (Agave karwinskii which is less than 1% of the agave in the state of Oaxaca) that is milled using a horse driven stone tahona which is fermented naturally in open air wooden tinas. They have fermented the trunk which results in a spirit that is more vegetal in the aromatics with a touch of fruit and salted peanut / caramel, and a slightly higher sugar content.
