El Jolgorio Ancestral Coyote represents a new chapter in the El Jolgorio range of mezcals. This ancestral mezcal is produced by Maestra Mezcalera: Doña Justina Ruiz Perez in Sola de Vega, Oaxaca using clay pots. The inaugural batch was distilled in February 2021 using 14 year old Maguey Coyote (Agave americana). The agaves were cooked underground for 2 days, crushed by hand using wooden mallets, fermented for 6 days in wooden vats, and double distilled in clay pots.
