El Jolgorio
Mezcal El Jolgorio Cuixe - 2017 Vintage (Edition 15)
In Zapotec (pre-hispanic culture from central Mexico) "Jolgorios" are moments of joy, celebration and remembrance. El Jolgorio Mezcal has created a range of artisanal Mezcales which reflect Mexican culture and tradition. This El Jolgorio expression is produced from 100% wild-harvest Agave Cuixe; a rare varietal known to be difficult to work with. The Agave used in this production is harvested on average at 13 years but can take up to 14 to real full maturity. Extensive experience is required to handle and produce an exemplary batch of Cuixe Mezcal. Closely related to Madrecuixe and Barril Agaves, Cuixe grows a cylindrical, stalk-shaped Piña (heart) with spreading Pencas (leaves) at the top. A dense and dry Piña is what contributes to its intense flavour profile.

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.
