El Jolgorio Mezcal Coyote 750ml

Part of the El Jolgorio Special Release series, Coyote is made with wild agaves harvested by Pedro Vasquez and his family, near his remote mountain distillery in Lachigui. Located in the southern district of Miahuatlán, Lachigui is well off the beaten path and something of a mezcal oasis in an otherwise rugged, harsh landscape. It is in these high elevation, mineral-laden fields that Tio Pedro cultivates a wide variety of agaves from which he produces some of the most sought after mezcals in the category. Agave Coyote is a sub-variety of agave Americana species (var. Oaxacensis) that can take 16 years to reach maturity. Thus, it shares the same Latin name as agave Arroqueño, yet they are quite different in both physical appearance and flavor profile. This elegant and vivacious mezcal was first released in 2017 and is the most limited of all the Special Release bottlings.
