The agaves were at least 13 years old, and the mezcal was distilled twice in copper pot stills and bottled at 48.6% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl Jolgorio, meaning the revelry, is named for the small-batch mezcals shared at traditional Zapotec village celebrations. Each release is made by an individual maestro mezcalero in Oaxaca and bottled in numbered editions, with labels illustrated by Oaxacan artists, so every bottle offers a window into a particular place, agave and maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFresh, breezy aromas of jicama, pea shoots, blue flowers and sea air lead to a bold, vegetal palate of roasted parsnip, black pepper, grilled asparagus and pine resin, with hints of bread, caraway and bergamot and a smoky finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe illustrated label makes it a collectable gift for agave enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly from a copita.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jicama, pea shoots, blue flowers and sea air.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted parsnip, black pepper, grilled asparagus and pine resin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e El Jolgorio (Pablo Vásquez García)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal Artesanal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barril (Agave karwinskii)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agave 13+ years old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 97.2 proof (48.6% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unaged; copper pot distilled twice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agua del Espino, Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly from a copita at room temperature.
