About El Jolgorio Ancestral Sierrudo
El Jolgorio Ancestral Sierrudo is a premium ancestral mezcal produced by Casa Cortés using 100% Maguey Sierrudo (Agave americana), bottled at 51.9% ABV. This limited-edition spirit represents the purest form of mezcal production, crafted by Maestra Mezcalera Justina Ruiz Perez in Sola de Vega, Oaxaca. The ancestral production method involves no modern technology—hand-milling agave with wooden mallets, fermenting in wooden tinas, and distilling in clay pots. The result is a small-batch spirit with smoky, earthy character and bold complexity. At $190.01 per 750ml, it appeals to serious mezcal collectors and enthusiasts seeking authentic, culturally significant spirits that showcase traditional craftsmanship and sustainability.
