Description

Tepeztate agave takes 25–35 years to mature. Growing wild, often on steep mountainsides, it develops a large piña as it stores water. El Jolgorio uses this agave for a mezcal whose starting point is that long period of growth. The plant's character comes through in vegetal, herbal and mineral flavors.

Earth and vegetal aromas lead, joined by roasted agave and wet stone. Floral and herbal notes sit behind a subtle smoky layer. The palate is rich and velvety. Green pepper, roasted agave and minerals meet wild mountain herbs. A little sweetness balances the earthiness, while smoke remains in the background.

Serve neat at room temperature in a copita. Give it a brief rest before sipping. Alongside food, try fresh ceviche, grilled vegetables or mild cheeses.
