El Jolgorio Barril Mezcal
El Jolgorio Barril Mezcal is a mezcal artesanal from the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, distilled from barril, a Karwinskii-family agave. El Jolgorio was begun by the Cortés family in 2010 as a collective of Oaxacan mezcal families.
Barril grows wild at high elevations and forms an elongated, stalk-shaped heart that is dense in sugar and low in moisture. Every bottle is hand-marked with its batch details, naming the producer, village, agave age and bottle count, and strength can differ from lot to lot. The importer's general profile points to sweetness, citrus and minerality.
At Sun of a Gun Cigars & Spirits in Yuma, Arizona, we pour it by the glass as a single or a double, with bottles to go (750 mL). Our shelf changes as bottles are poured and new ones arrive, so call 928-276-3500 to confirm availability, and ask our team for a cigar from the walk-in humidor to pair with it.
