El Jolgorio Mezcal CUISHE is an exclusive spirit from Mexico made from the rare agave variety Cuishe (Agave Karwinskii). With a strong alcohol content of 47% vol. and limited production, this mezcal is one of the most highly prized distillates among connoisseurs and lovers of authentic Mexican craftsmanship. It is distilled in the elaborate traditional way, which gives it its complex and multi-layered character.
The Agave Cuishe grows wild in the mountains of Oaxaca and is characterized by its slender, cylindrical shape. Its high sugar content provides a fine, almost caramel-like sweetness, which is accompanied by earthy and spicy notes. The mezcal is distilled in small batches by experienced maestros mezcaleros and bottled in handmade bottles, making each bottle unique.
The traditional production process with slow fermentation and double distillation in copper stills produces a mezcal with an impressive aromatic depth. The smoky note that is typical of mezcal is combined here with an elegant fruitiness and mineral nuances that perfectly reflect the unique character of the Cuishe agave.

El Jolgorio Mezcal CUISHE is a mezcal for pure enjoyment. To experience the aromas to the full, it is traditionally drunk at room temperature from a copita (small clay cup) or a tumbler. A garnish of orange slices and sal de gusano (worm salt) enhances the taste experience and brings out the fruity, spicy notes even more.
For cocktail lovers, this mezcal is ideal for characterful drinks such as a Smoky Negroni or a Mezcal Margarita. It also unfolds its full potential in combination with dark chocolate or mature cheese. In Mexican cuisine, it harmonizes particularly well with grilled meat, mole sauces and spicy tacos.
