Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: The nose of El Jolgorio Jabal is an explosion of vibrant and often unexpected aromas. Expect a powerful bouquet of tropical fruits, such as ripe mango and passionfruit, intertwined with earthy notes of wet stone and forest floor. Distinct herbal and vegetal notes emerge, reminiscent of wild mint, eucalyptus, and sometimes even a hint of green bell pepper. A subtle smoky undertone dances with a surprising sweetness, often described as candied fruit or even a touch of bubblegum.
• Palate: The palate is equally intense and multifaceted. A burst of fruit-forward flavors, echoing the aromas, is immediately apparent, often with a tangy or slightly tart edge. The signature Jabal character is revealed through a pronounced minerality and a complex interplay of sweet and savory notes. Expect herbal and spice notes to evolve, such as anise, black pepper, and a hint of salinity. The texture can range from surprisingly smooth to slightly viscous, leading to a long and evolving mouthfeel.
• Finish: The finish is exceptionally long and lingering, leaving a tapestry of the complex flavors to fade slowly. The tropical fruit notes often persist, alongside the earthy minerality and a subtle, intriguing bitterness. A whisper of smoke remains, intertwined with the unique herbal and spicy notes that define this remarkable mezcal.
• Experience: El Jolgorio Jabal is a mezcal for the adventurous palate. Sip it slowly and deliberately in a copita to fully appreciate its ever-changing nuances. Allow it to breathe and evolve in the glass.

This mezcal is best enjoyed neat and is a true testament to the wild beauty and complexity of Oaxacan agave spirits. It’s a conversation starter and a memorable experience for any mezcal enthusiast.
