Product Details
Erstwhile Jabali Ancestral Limited Edition 2023 represents a rare rescue of mezcal heritage. Only 100 liters produced from this notoriously difficult agave varietal, which generates foam throughout production due to naturally occurring saponins. This batch required fifty-five pounds of raw Jabalí agave per liter—demanding significantly more labor and yielding far less mezcal than other varieties.
Crafted by master mezcalero Silverio García Luis, this 2023 release revives a García family tradition dormant for nearly fifty years. His father, Don Lencho, pioneered an ingenious production method during Oaxaca's prohibition era, using a hollowed quiote (agave flowering stalk) instead of a copper turbante to evade military seizure of distillation equipment.
A testament to ancestral technique and agricultural persistence, this limited expression honors both the plant's complexity and the family's defiant legacy.
About Erstwhile
Erstwhile honors the artisanal traditions of mezcal making, roasting agave in earthen pits for smoky, complex depth.
