Pierde Almas Mezcal
El Jolgorio Pechuga
El Jolgorio Pechuga is a mezcal by Gregorio Martinez Jarquin featuring a distinctive poultry-infused production. The spirit presents aromas of limoncello, vanilla beans, and juniper alongside notes of fresh cut cedar. Citrus and pine lead the palate, followed by creamy vanilla ice cream and a back-palate cayenne heat. The mouthfeel is notably oily and rich, with savory undertones of smoked turkey or bouillon stock. Some expressions show subtle cocoa or mineral traces, while others lack pronounced smoke. This agave spirit offers a complex profile that balances sweet fruitiness with savory, meaty depth and a lingering woody finish.

About the Brand
El Jolgorio translates to “the revelry”. Jolgorios are small festivals that occur in remote, mountain villages throughout Oaxaca, Mexico. They celebrate births, deaths, weddings and Saint’s days. For centuries, the lifeblood of these celebrations has been traditional mezcal. In 2010, the Cortés family began building a collective of top mezcal distillers from around Oaxaca. As of 2019, El Jolgorio represents sixteen different families, working in ten different regions of Oaxaca, Mexico, each with its own special story. Every bottle is hand-marked with the specific details of each batch, to truly connect the drinker with the family behind the expression. In 2017, the team behind the brand realized that certain varieties of agave would be extremely limited and they would only be able to make them available once per year (if at all). They began packaging these rare editions in black bottles to set them apart from the other releases. The artwork on the first 8 releases was created by Alejandro Peña (Espadin, Pechuga, Tobala, Cuixe, Madrecuixe, Tepeztate, Barril and Mexicano). The next 5 labels were created by Asis Cortes (Arroqueno, Jabalin, Coyote, Tobaxiche, and Cenizo) and the Sierrudo artwork was created by Alberto Almánza.
