Erstwhile Jabali 2023 375 ml

Erstwhile Jabalí 2023 is a mezcal from Erstwhile Spirits made with Jabalí agave, a wild, semi-domesticated variety far less common than the espadín used in most commercial mezcal. Jabalí takes many years to mature in the wild and produces a smaller yield per plant, which is part of why bottlings using it tend to be limited, single-harvest releases like this one, dated to its 2023 production. Expect a wilder, more mineral and herbal profile than espadín mezcal, with real vegetal and earthy character alongside the traditional smoke. This is a bottle for mezcal drinkers specifically chasing rare agave varietals rather than an everyday pour.

How to drink Erstwhile Jabalí

Sip it neat in a copita to catch the mineral, wild-agave character this varietal is prized for. Skip mixing it — rare-agave mezcal like this is worth tasting on its own rather than diluted into a cocktail.
