Mezcal Vago prefers to be philosophically and literally off the beaten mezcal path. They actively seek out small batch maestros mezcaleros, who for generations have been perfecting their craft deep in the Southern Mountains of Oaxaca. They believe in losing themselves in the hills, and searching out the extaordinary.

Joel Barriga creates his mezcals in the high desert oasis of Hacienda Tapanala. For this Joven bottling he utilizes Espadin - the most widely cultivated agave variety for Mezcal in Mexico. Don Joel takes a slightly deeper distillation cut which procuces one of the brightest, fruit-forward mezcals in Vago's lineup.

An excellent sipper and craft cocktail choice. The still is copper and the batch size is 932 liters. 50.3% ABV

Mia ★★★★★

Bought this on a whim and the smokiness is exactly what I hoped for—it’s earthy and layered, not harsh at all. Sipped it neat with a lime wedge and it’s already my go-to for slow evenings.

William ★★★★★

The small-batch process from a single maestro really comes through in the depth here, and the agave’s earthy, mineral character is way more layered than the usual bottles. Poured a glass for a friend who usually sticks to blanco tequila and even he was impressed by how smooth it goes down.

Penelope ★★★★☆

I was hoping for a bit more smokiness, but the earthy, vegetal notes from the Espadin are really unique. The small-batch craftsmanship is obvious in every sip, and it’s perfect for sipping neat. Just wish the bottle had a bit more info on the maestros mezcaleros.
