El Jolgorio Jabalí Mezcal is a unique and captivating spirit that is part of the esteemed El Jolgorio Special Release series. It derives its name from the Jabalí agave, which earned its moniker due to its uncanny resemblance to the rugged back and menacing curved tusks of a wild boar. This agave variety is known for its resilient fibers, which present a formidable challenge to the mezcalero during the harvesting process. Despite these obstacles, the end result is a mezcal that showcases the true spirit of the Jabalí agave.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a mezcal for drinkers who already know the basics and want to taste what a less familiar agave brings to the glass. Made from Jabalí agave (Agave convallis) in Oaxaca and produced by Casa Cortés as part of the El Jolgorio Special Release series, it takes its name from the plant's resemblance to the rugged back and curved tusks of a wild boar. Those tough, resilient fibers make Jabalí a formidable agave to harvest, and the effort pays off in the glass. Expect campfire smoke and forest-floor earthiness on the nose, then a robust, peppery palate with roasted agave, a gentle lingering sweetness, herbal undertones and a touch of minerality. The finish runs long, smoky and slightly spicy. It rewards slow sipping from a copita at room temperature, though its smoky, earthy backbone also stands up in a Negroni or Old Fashioned. We carry it because it showcases the craftsmanship of Ignacio Parada and gives curious enthusiasts an adventurous, memorable bottle to explore and share.
Pairs well with
- Grilled meats off the fire — The mezcal's campfire smoke and peppery bite echo the char and richness of grilled meat.
- Aged cheese board — Its subtle sweetness and touch of minerality balance the savory depth of aged cheeses.
- Mezcal tasting night with friends — Its layered smoke, herbal and earthy notes give everyone plenty to discuss over slow, shared sips.

Both work. Sip it neat at room temperature in a copita to catch the nuances of the agave, or use its smoky, earthy profile in a mezcal Negroni, a spicy margarita with agave nectar and lime, or a mezcal Old Fashioned with an orange peel.
