El Jolgorio Espadín Joven Mezcal

El Jolgorio Espadín Joven Mezcal is a semi-wild Espadín mezcal from El Jolgorio — traditionally pit-roasted, mule-drawn tahona-crushed, open-fermented, double-distilled from 100% semi-wild Agave Espadín (Agave angustifolia) harvested at 10 years of age, bottled at 47.8% ABV. Produced in Santa Maria Zoquitlan, Oaxaca, by mezcalero Ignacio Parada.

Espadín is the most widely used varietal for mezcal production due to its large size and relatively short 10–12 year maturation cycle. El Jolgorio Espadín distinguishes itself from cultivated commercial Espadín by being semi-wild harvested — plants grown without intensive cultivation — producing a more complex and structurally interesting Espadín than the industrial baseline. The relatively high 47.8% ABV preserves the agave concentration through bottling.
