Born from one of the most elusive and challenging agaves in all of Mexico, IBA Mezcal Jabali is a rare expression that rewards the patient and the curious. The wild Jabali agave takes 13 to 18 years to reach maturity, and every drop in this bottle reflects that unhurried journey.


Crafted through an artesanal process with precise harvest timing and a proprietary distillation method, IBA Jabali Joven draws its character from the wild-harvested Jabali agave, a variety known for its fierce, unpredictable nature and the extraordinary depth it brings to the glass. The result is a mezcal of layered complexity and a smooth, lingering finish that sets it apart from anything else in the category.


  • Nose: Wild and untamed, with earthy, herbal complexity and hints of smoke that speak to the rugged landscape where the Jabali agave grows.
  • Palate: Rich and multi-dimensional, offering a striking balance of savory depth, subtle fruit, and the distinctive intensity unique to Jabali agave mezcal.
  • Finish: Long, smooth, and remarkably refined for such a bold spirit, with a warmth that lingers well past the last sip.

IBA Mezcal Jabali holds its own beautifully when sipped neat, but its depth also makes it a compelling base for a classic Mezcal Negroni or a smoky Mezcal Old Fashioned for those who enjoy cocktails with character.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the spirit open up gradually. IBA Mezcal Jabali is an artesanal Joven expression made from wild-harvested Jabali agave, a testament to the craft and patience at the heart of traditional mezcal production.

Location icon
Location: Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
IBÁ is a mezcal from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, and its name means heavens or skies in Zapotec. Each of the six bottles takes its color from the Oaxacan sky at a different hour, from dawn blue to deep night. The range runs from an Espadín Joven made with 8-year-old agave to a Tepeztate from wild agave that takes 20 to 25 years to mature. IBÁ uses its own process for harvest timing, slow fermentation and distillation, and keeps the smoke in check so the agave can show. Frutos Rojos and Cítricos get fresh fruit added during distillation.

Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca

Map of Oaxaca, Mexico, with Santiago Matatlán marked

Santiago Matatlán sits at about 1,725 meters in the Tlacolula district of Oaxaca's Valles Centrales, roughly an hour southeast of Oaxaca City. Known as the world capital of mezcal, the town depends on growing maguey and making mezcal. Its dry valley floor and hillsides are planted with Espadín, and small family palenques in and around town still roast agave in earthen pits. Matatlán was founded in 1575, and its name comes from Nahuatl words meaning among the nets.
