Convite Mezcal Jabali Edicion Especial is a remarkable expression of traditional mezcal craftsmanship. Handcrafted in the rugged and picturesque landscapes of Oaxaca, Mexico, this mezcal is a true testament to the dedication and skill of mezcalero Cosme "Tucho" Hernández and his brother Daniel Hernandez. What sets this mezcal apart is its exclusive use of wild maguey Jabali, a variety of agave Convallis, which grows for approximately 25 years before being harvested.
The process of creating Convite Jabali is a labor of love and tradition. The mature agave plants are carefully selected and harvested, then roasted to perfection in an underground pit oven, infusing the mezcal with smoky and earthy undertones. The maguey is then meticulously milled using a horse-drawn tahona, ensuring the extraction of the most delicate flavors. Following this, natural fermentation takes place using pristine spring water, adding a refreshing and pure quality to the mezcal. Finally, it undergoes a double distillation in a traditional copper alembic still, which imparts a silky smoothness while preserving the essence of the agave.
The production of Convite Mezcal Jabali Edicion Especial is a family affair, rooted in generations of mezcal expertise. The mezcaleros' commitment to quality and tradition shines through in every bottle, making it a prized gem among mezcal connoisseurs.
