El Jolgorio was founded by the Cortés family, who have been making mezcal in Oaxaca since the 1840s. This mineral driven mezcal is made from the Barril agave, which is part of the Karwinskii family of agaves that grow wild or in a semi-cultivated environment. The Barril piña is dense with with sugars and very little water, which results in a Mezcal of great complexity. This Mezcal delicately balances sweetness, citrus, and a distinct minerality. It is earthy with hints of light smoke.
