El Jolgorio Jabalí Mezcal
Embark on an untamed sensory adventure with El Jolgorio Jabalí, a truly wild and captivating mezcal. Distilled from the rare and elusive Jabalí agave (Agave convallis), this expression is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the maestro mezcalero and the rich biodiversity of Oaxaca. The Jabalí agave is notoriously difficult to cultivate and ferments uniquely, resulting in a mezcal with an intensely complex and often surprising character.
Each batch is a limited release, reflecting the scarcity of this magnificent agave. Prepare for a mezcal experience unlike any other.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The nose of El Jolgorio Jabalí is an explosion of vibrant and often unexpected aromas. Expect a powerful bouquet of tropical fruits, such as ripe mango and passionfruit, intertwined with earthy notes of wet stone and forest floor. Distinct herbal and vegetal notes emerge, reminiscent of wild mint, eucalyptus, and sometimes even a hint of green bell pepper. A subtle smoky undertone dances with a surprising sweetness, often described as candied fruit or even a touch of bubblegum.
- Palate: The palate is equally intense and multifaceted. A burst of fruit-forward flavors, echoing the aromas, is immediately apparent, often with a tangy or slightly tart edge. The signature Jabalí character is revealed through a pronounced minerality and a complex interplay of sweet and savory notes. Expect herbal and spice notes to evolve, such as anise, black pepper, and a hint of salinity. The texture can range from surprisingly smooth to slightly viscous, leading to a long and evolving mouthfeel.
- Finish: The finish is exceptionally long and lingering, leaving a tapestry of the complex flavors to fade slowly. The tropical fruit notes often persist, alongside the earthy minerality and a subtle, intriguing bitterness. A whisper of smoke remains, intertwined with the unique herbal and spicy notes that define this remarkable mezcal.
- Experience: El Jolgorio Jabalí is a mezcal for the adventurous palate. Sip it slowly and deliberately in a copita to fully appreciate its ever-changing nuances. Allow it to breathe and evolve in the glass.
This mezcal is best enjoyed neat and is a true testament to the wild beauty and complexity of Oaxacan agave spirits. It's a conversation starter and a memorable experience for any mezcal enthusiast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
