Notes
The jabali agave is notorious for being difficult to work with due to its lower sugar content and a foam that forms during the production process. This agave sometimes requires three to four distillations compared to two for most mezcales. This agave is named after the wild boar because its spiky, curved leaves resemble the animal’s fur. It takes longer on average to make Jabali mezcal due to the extra distillations, and that’s after the agave has matured for 10 to 12 years!
