El Jolgorio
Mezcal El Jolgorio Special Edition Arroqueno 2016
El Jolgorio has crafted this special batch Arroqueño Mezcal as part of their limited edition release of Artisanal Mezcales. The Special Edition releases of El Jolgorio showcase limited, small-batch production of Mezcal produced from extremely rare, 100% wild Agave varietals.
Once one of the most utilised Agaves for Mezcal production, this increasingly rare species has long been admired for its enormous size and long ripening period which produces huge Piñas with concentrated sugars. The agave used in the production of this Mezcal is 100% wild, harvested on at 16 years but can take up to twenty to reach full maturity. The result is an outstanding Mezcal that maintains its smoothness and balance at high proofs, is unique in fragrance and full in body. Due to the rarity of the species, batches of this Mezcal are produced only a few times a year with highly limited availability.
Through this Mezcal you can sense the spirit of the Maestro Mezcalero (Master Distiller), his village and Palenque (Distillery). El Jolgorio Arroqueño is a Mezcal full of complexity and unique flavor that's made to be shared and celebrated with.

FAQ
Questions and Answers
-
What does Agaveria means?
Agaveria is the place where to buy spirits made from Agave, such as
Tequila, Mezcal, Raicilla, Sotol and many more. It comes from the two
Spanish words Agave and Eria – from the Latin word that means store. -
What is the difference between Tequila, Mezcal, Sotol and Raicilla?
First, those spirits come from Mexico, and all have Appellation of Origin, better known as Denomination of Origin, meaning that nowhere else in the world can make these spirits and call them such.
The main difference between each one is the specie of Agave used (except for Sotol since it’s not made out of an Agave, but from a plant called Dasylirion or better known as Sotol) own plant and is not an agave) and the place/region/state that is made. There are differences in their process, and each spirit has a unique and distinctive
flavour and character. -
How do I store my spirit?
We recommend you do two things first, store them in a place away from sunlight and significant temperature changes, and second, seal your bottles with clingwrap or parafilm to preserve the alcohol.
