El Jolgorio Barril Mezcal (75cl, 47%)

A mezcal distilled from wild Barril agave, a karwinskii subspecies that grows at high elevations in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca and takes more than a decade to mature. It is made in sequentially numbered small batches by master distillers, with the distiller named on each label. Production is artisanal: pit-roasted, tahona-crushed and double copper distilled. The mezcal balances sweetness and citrus with mineral character, earthy depth and subtle smoke. It is bottled at 47% ABV in a 750 ml bottle.
