El Jolgorio Sierrudo Mezcal
El Jolgorio Sierrudo is made with wild maguey Sierrudo (Agave Americana) by JosĂ© CortĂ©s in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca. As of 2019, Don JosĂ© CortĂ©s was the oldest living member of the CortĂ©s family and the inspiration for the entire El Jolgorio range. He is mostly retired from making mezcal but will produce a special batch occasionally. The maguey Sierrudo is seldom used in Mezcal. Itâs closely related to maguey Arroqueno, Sierra Negra, and Coyote. This agave is enormous. It generally takes 13-15 years to mature in this region and can grow up to 1,000 pounds in weight. Sierrudo has a high concentration of sugars, meaning a single agave can yield around 20-25 bottles of mezcal. The agaves for the introductory release (ed. 1) were cultivated in a wild environment (i.e. semi-cultivated) in Agua del Guaje, San Pedro Lachigoba, San Carlos Yautepec.
