El Jolgorio Sierrudo

Description

Part of the El Jolgorio Special Release series, El Jolgorio Sierrudo is produced by legendary mezcalero, Don Jos√© Cort√©s. Maturing at around 13-15 years, Sierrudo is a sub-variety of Agave Americana, meaning that it’s closely related to Arroque√±o and Coyote. Like other Americana varieties, it grows to be very large. The average weight of the pi√±a can be around a whopping 230 kg, with a high concentration of sugars, meaning a single agave can yield around 20-25 bottles of mezcal. The agaves for this release were cultivated in a wild environment (i.e. semi-cultivated) in Agua del Guaje, San Pedro Lachigoba, San Carlos Yautepec.
