Erstwhile Jabali Ancestral Limited Edition 2023 375 ml
Rare. Rugged. Ancestral Revival.
Distilled by Silverio García Luis in Oaxaca, this exclusive mezcal revives a secret family tradition from the prohibition era. Crafted from wild Jabalí (Agave convallis)—one of the most difficult and temperamental agaves—it’s produced in an ancestral style using clay pot stills and even agave flowering stakes (quiotes) in the distillation process.
