About this bottle
Mezcal Vago Espadin is made by maestro mezcalero Emigdio Jarquin in San Juan del Rio, Oaxaca, one of several individual palenqueros whose names appear on the Vago label rather than a single house style. The Espadin agave is roasted in an underground pit, crushed with a horse-drawn stone tahona, fermented in open-air wooden vats, and run through copper stills, the full traditional process by hand. That method produces a mezcal with real weight: cooked agave and smoke up front, citrus peel and dried herb through the middle, and a slightly sweet, mineral finish. It reads more rustic and less polished than commercial mezcal, which is the point.
How to drink Mezcal Vago Espadin
Drink it neat in a small clay copita, the traditional way, with orange and sal de gusano on the side. It's too characterful to waste in a mixed drink.
