EL JOLGORIO MEXICANO MEZCAL 47.5% 750ML NOM-O98X

El Jolgorio Mexicano Mezcal is a rare and unique expression of mezcal crafted from the agave Mexicano, a close relative to the more commonly used agave Espadín. This artisanal mezcal is a celebration of tradition and the rich cultural heritage of Mexico. The agave Mexicano, known as 'doba-daan' or 'dob-daiin' in some Zapotec dialects, is distinct in its appearance with broad, serrated leaves that often sport black tips. It shares similarities with Espadín, growing to impressive sizes and boasting a high concentration of natural sugars, which are essential for creating a delicious and complex mezcal. Tasting Notes El Jolgorio Mexicano Mezcal offers a sensory journey that captures the essence of the agave Mexicano. On the nose, it presents a delightful interplay of earthy and herbal aromas, with subtle hints of smokiness reminiscent of a distant campfire. As you take your first sip, your palate is greeted with a harmonious blend of flavors. The initial taste is sweet and agave-forward, with notes of roasted agave, caramelized sugar, and a touch of honey. This sweetness is balanced by a gentle smokiness that gives it depth and complexity. Mid-palate, you'll discover layers of herbal and vegetal undertones, with hints of roasted green peppers, wild herbs, and a subtle mineral quality that speaks to the mezcal's terroir. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a gentle, warming sensation that lingers, making it perfect for savoring slowly and contemplatively.
