El Jolgorio Tepeztate

El Jolgorio Tepeztate is a vivid expression of one of Mexico’s most revered wild agaves. Grown on steep rocky slopes and taking up to 25 years to mature, Tepeztate is known for its wild, bold personality—and this bottle does not disappoint. Distilled by renowned maestro mezcalero Pedro Vásquez in Oaxaca using traditional copper stills, this mezcal bursts with jalapeño, fresh herbs, and citrus peel. The texture is full and oily, with a long mineral finish that lingers on the palate.

If you’re a fan of intensely green, complex mezcals or want something that stands out in a flight, El Jolgorio Tepeztate is a showstopper.
