Erstwhile Jabalí 2023 Ancestral Limited Edition supply

Description

Experience the rarity of mezcal with the Erstwhile Jabalí 2023 Ancestral Limited Edition. Crafted by maestro mezcalero Silverio García Luis, this exceptional release reawakens a forgotten García family tradition from Oaxaca. A legacy literally born in secrecy, this mezcal pays homage to Silverio’s father, Don Lencho, who ingeniously hid his distillation methods using a hollowed-out quiote to avoid military confiscation during mezcal’s prohibition era.

Jabalí is a temperamental and challenging agave varietal, notorious for the foam (caused by naturally occurring saponins) generated during every stage of production. Its demanding process requires about 55 pounds of raw Jabalí agave to produce just one liter of mezcal, resulting in exceptionally low yields. For this Ancestral Limited Edition, only 100 liters were made, making it a truly rare collector’s item.
