El Jolgorio Mezcal Cuishe 47% 50 cl

Crafted from wild Cuishe agave

El Jolgorio Cuixe is made from the Cuishe agave, a rare, wild subspecies of the Karwinskii family. Unlike other agave varieties, Cuishe grows in a tall, cylindrical shape with its leaves spread at the top. This mezcal offers a complex and earthy profile, with a distinct aroma reminiscent of wet clay.

 

Spicy and smoky flavour profile

On the palate, El Jolgorio Cuixe is spicy, with subtle layers of soft smoke that add depth without overpowering the natural flavours of the agave. Its complexity and character are ideal for those looking for a nuanced mezcal.

 

Traditional Oaxacan production

Produced in Santa Maria Zoquitlán, Oaxaca, this mezcal follows traditional artisanal methods. After 13 years of growth, the agave is roasted in a conical underground oven, ground by a horse-drawn tahona, and fermented in wooden vats made from sabin and pine using river water. It is distilled twice in copper alembic stills by Maestro Mezcalero Ignacio Parada.

 

A bold mezcal at 47% ABV

Bottled at 47% ABV, El Jolgorio Cuixe is a bold and rich mezcal, perfect for sipping neat to appreciate its full spectrum of flavours. Its earthy and spicy character reflects the wild nature of the Cuishe agave, making it a unique expression within the El Jolgorio range.
