Description
Don José Cortés makes this mezcal for El Jolgorio's Special Release series. He works with Sierrudo, a large, sugar-rich sub-variety of Agave americana related to Arroqueño and Coyote. The agave grows in a semi-wild setting in Agua del Guaje, San Pedro Lachigoba, San Carlos Yautepec. It takes 13 to 15 years to mature before becoming the basis of this mezcal.
Roasted agave, earth and leather shape the nose, with subtle smoke behind them. The palate is rich and full-bodied. Caramelized sugar and tropical fruit meet an herbal undertone. Smoke continues through the sip, balanced by a mineral note. Spice and sweetness remain through a long, warm finish.
Pour neat into a stemmed copita or small stemmed glass. Serve at room temperature and allow a brief rest before sipping slowly.
