El Jolgorio Tepeztate Review
Expect to be blown away by this Tepeztate mezcal. The 25-year-old agave used to make this expression brings depth and character to this bottle. The nose is profoundly pleasant with notes of freeze-dried raspberries, rose water, and wood smoke. The smoke carries into the smooth palate, where it joins the flavors of vibrant tropical fruit, and a nice minerality. This mezcal is beautifully complex and great to sip.
