Convite Mezcal Jabali 750mL is an artisanal mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, crafted from the highly prized Jabalí agave.

Using traditional Oaxacan production methods, Convite transforms this uncommon agave into a complex mezcal that balances bright fruit, herbal character, minerality, earthiness, and smoke.

The aromatic profile opens with roasted agave, citrus, tropical fruit, fresh herbs, and earthy minerals. On the palate, layers of cooked agave, ripe fruit, pepper, herbs, and mineral notes mingle with a controlled smoky character. The finish is long and expressive, leaving lingering citrus, pepper, earthy agave, herbs, and smoke.
