El Jolgorio Espadin (50cl)

El Jolgorio Espadin is a mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, made from fully matured Espadin agave. It is produced by traditional artisanal methods: the agaves are slowly cooked in wood-fired conical earthen ovens, crushed with a stone tahona pulled by animals, fermented spontaneously in wooden vats and distilled twice in traditional copper stills. On the nose it shows cooked agave, fresh citrus, green apple and pear, with aromatic herbs, wildflowers, white pepper, delicate smoke and a mineral undertone. The palate is soft, rich and balanced, with sweet agave, ripe fruit, citrus and light spice. The finish is long, fresh and persistent, with herbal, mineral and slightly balsamic notes.
