In Zapotec (pre-hispanic culture from central Mexico) "Jolgorios" are moments of joy, celebration and remembrance. El Jolgrio Mezcal has created a range of artisanal Mezcales which reflect Mexican culture and tradition.The El Jolgorio Pechuga Mezcal expression is a celebratory Mezcal and unlike the other expressions in the El Jolgorio range, Pechuga is not named after the species/variety of Agave but rather by the way it is produced. Pechuga is produced from wild-harvest Espadín Agave, in honour of the Virgen de la Candelaria (Virgin of the Candelaria) in the village of Santiago Matatalan, Oaxaca. This expression is twice distilled in a copper pot stills with winter/Christmas season fruits such as tejocote, banana, passionfruit and wild apples. On the second distillation, the breast of a Guajolote (Creole turkey) is suspended above the liquid (never touching), inside the still and cooked with the steam generated from the distillation. It is important to note that, due to its purpose of celebrating important events, Pechuga is always intended to be shared among friends on special occasions.

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.
