El Jolgorio Ancestral Arroqueo: A Bold, Sustainable Mezcal Masterpiece
Crafted by Mezcalero Felipe Velasco Jimnez in El Platanar Gotzengo, San Francisco Sola, Sola de Vega, Oaxaca, this exceptional mezcal is a true labor of love and respect for tradition. Made from 100% semi-wild Maguey Arroqueo (Agave americana) that can take up to 20 years to mature, each batch is a limited release to ensure sustainable production and conservation of younger wild agave plants.
The artisanal process begins with pit roasting the mature agave pias, followed by an unhurried tahona milling and fermentation in clay pots. The result is a robust, full-bodied mezcal with an impressive 50.9% alcohol by volume.
Upon pouring, El Jolgorio Ancestral Arroqueo captivates with its deep, golden hue. On the nose, bold herbal and spicy aromas tantalize the senses, hinting at the flavors to come. The palate is greeted with a masterful blend of intense yet smooth, earthy, vegetal, and smoky notes, underscored by a pleasant pepperiness that lingers pleasantly on the finish.
This mezcal demands to be sipped and savored, revealing new layers of complexity with every pour. Experience the culmination of Felipe Velasco Jimnez’s lifelong dedication to preserving the ancestral traditions of mezcal production with each carefully crafted batch of El Jolgorio Ancestral Arroqueo.
