Manufacturing and aging
The agave Espadín, or Doba‐yej in Zapotec, grows and matures
semi wild in the valleys of Oaxaca, for eight to nine years. The
distillery is situated in the town of Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca.
The production is extremely handcrafted in all aspects from
harvest to bottle. The agave is cooked using underground pits
with volcanic stones heated with mesquite wood and then
pressed using a traditional tahona (a quarry wheel of stone)
pulled by horses. The juice is then fermented in vats of pine
wood and distilled twice in small copper pot stills. Mezcal el
Jolgorio is only produced in extremely limited batches.
