Agave convallis, the agave is used to make jabalí ( hah-bah-LEE) is challenging to work. When José Alberto learned of the difficulty to work jabalí, he wanted to take on the challenge, and his first batches are certainly worth it. There are a few troubles working with jabalí. First, the piñas have a lower yield compared to higher yield agaves. Second, during fermentation and distillation, the bagasso produces a lot of foam, which needs to be monitored and removed because it contains unwanted saponins and can also damage the stills. With the low yield and the foam combined the effort is not worth the return, and some producers will mix jabalí with another agave to create a full batch. These 100% agave convallis batches are small and special. For Release 1 and 2 José Alberto sources his agave convallis from Sola de Vega. In release 3 there are two 50 liter batches, one from Sola de Vega, and the other from San Balthazar Chichicapam, Oaxaca. The resulting destilados are quite different
