Mezcal Vago Madrecuishe 750ml

Mezcal Vago Madrecuishe is a small-batch mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, made entirely from Madrecuishe agave — a wild, slow-growing variety that gives a more mineral, vegetal character than the more common Espadín. Production follows traditional methods: the agave is roasted in an earthen pit, crushed with a horse-drawn tahona wheel, fermented naturally in open-air wooden vats, and distilled in copper pot stills. The result is complex and savory, with earthy minerals, citrus, smoky agave, and a hint of pepper on the finish. Best for a mezcal drinker who already knows the category and wants to explore beyond Espadín.

How to drink Mezcal Vago Madrecuishe

Neat is the right call — this expression's character is built for slow sipping, not for burying in a mixer. A splash of water can soften the pepper note if it feels sharp.
