El Jolgorio Madrecuixe Joven Mezcal

El Jolgorio Madrecuixe Joven Mezcal is a wild-varietal artisanal mezcal from El Jolgorio — made from Madrecuixe (Agave karwinskii), a long-stemmed wild agave with thick fibers from the karwinskii family. The large plant size and shape produce a high concentration of sugars, creating a mezcal known for its softness, subtle aromas, and structural complexity.Karwinskii varietals take 12–20 years to mature and are wild-harvested rather than cultivated. El Jolgorio’s Madrecuixe presents the elegant, mineral-driven character of the wild karwinskii family through the Cortés family collective’s artisanal small-batch production approach.Tasting Notes
