El Jolgorio is a range of artisanal mezcal from Oaxaca, made from a wide variety of rare, unique agave species.
In Mexico, there are around fifty different species of agave used for mezcal production, each yielding a mezcal with its own distinct character. In 2010, the Cortés family begain buiding a collective of top mezcal distillers from around Oaxaca, with the goal of sharing the true culture and spirit of mezcal with the world. In all, El Jolgorio represents sixteen different families, working in ten different regions of Oaxaca, Mexico, each with its own special story. Every bottle is hand-marked with the specific details of each batch, to truly connect the drinker with the family behind the expression.
In the pantheon of agave varieties, Agave potatorum, known reverently as Tobalá, reigns supreme. Called “Rey de los Mezcales” (King of Mezcals), Tobalá commands respect from producers and consumers alike for its rarity, complexity, and the extraordinary patience required for its cultivation.
The flavor profile of well-made Tobalá mezcal is unlike any other agave spirit. Lovers of it describe a complex interplay of floral and fruit notes—white flowers, citrus zest, tropical fruit, and herb garden complexity—layered over the fundamental smokiness that defines mezcal. This batch was made from Tobalá agaves aged 15 years before harvest by Maestro Mezcalero Gregorio Martinez Jarquin. Bottled at 48.5% abv.
