The Mezcal
Traditional mezcal forms an important part of rituals, ceremonies and festivitiesknown as jolgoriosin the rural and indigenous Zapotec villages of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Created by the Corts family, El Jolgorio is widely acknowledged as one of the finest collections of agave spirits available. The ever-changing lineup of mezcales represent the most rare expressions the family bottles: wild, semi-wild and cultivated agaves, rare pechuga distillations, and small batches rested in glass for three, six, or as much as eighteen years before release.
From batch to batch, an individual variety of agave will generally be sourced from different mezcaleros, in different regions, reducing the pressure put upon any one communitys agave population and spreading the financial benefits among families all over Oaxaca but the unmatched quality of El Jolgorio mezcales remains the same.
