Introduction
In the diverse world of mezcal, some agaves are cultivated for efficiency, while others, like jabali, are prized for their defiance. Complex, wild, and incredibly difficult to distill, jabali has earned its place as the rebel of the mezcal world.
A Spirit That Defies Convention
What sets jabali apart from other agaves? For starters, it’s not farmed. This wild species grows where it pleases—in rocky terrain and steep cliffs—making every harvest a true adventure. Its leaves are sharp, its piña dense, and its attitude fiery.
During fermentation and distillation, jabali foams violently, sometimes requiring multiple distillations to achieve a stable spirit. This results in low yields and high effort, but the final product is incomparable.
The Taste of Untamed Oaxaca
A well-made jabali mezcal is an experience. Expect rich notes of spice, herbs, stone fruit, and wood smoke. It’s vibrant, layered, and unforgettable. It appeals to those who seek authenticity and adventure in their glass.
Conclusion
By choosing jabali, you’re not just choosing a rare mezcal—you’re supporting a community dedicated to preserving one of Oaxaca’s most treasured traditions. Paquera’s support of these families ensures that the rebellious spirit of jabali continues to thrive. Taste the untamed. Taste jabali.
