El Jolgorio Espadin Mezcal

Espadín is the most prevalent species of agave in Mexico and reaches maturity earlier (7-12 yrs) than most other agaves. It also grows to be very large with a high sugar content, making it perfect for mezcal production. However, only the most unique lots of mezcal espadín crafted by the Casa Cortés collective of mezcaleros are bottled under the El Jolgorio brand, oftentimes vintage batches that were either reserved for resting, or simply "forgotten" and tucked away in the corner of the palenque.Tasting NotesThis Espadín lacks the volatility often associated with mezcal, and speaks of citrus and tropical fruit. Light on its feet with beautiful sugar, acid and levity.
