El Jolgorio Barril uses the agave Barril, which is a rare subspecies of the Karwinskii agaves that grows wild at high elevations. The Barril piña is dense with sugars and very little water, which results in a Mezcal of great complexity.  This Mezcal delicately balances sweetness, citrus, and a distinct minerality.  It is earthy with hints of light smoke.
