Mezcal Vago is a truly unique and exquisite spirit, crafted in the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico. The name "vago" means wanderer in Spanish, and is a nod to the nomadic nature of those who produce this traditional mezcal.
Made from 100% agave plants, Mezcal Vago is a product of generations of knowledge and expertise passed down through the Zapotec community. The agave plants are harvested by hand, with each piña (the heart of the plant) carefully selected for its maturity and flavour potential.
The production process is a labour of love, with the agave piñas roasted in an underground pit oven, giving the mezcal its signature smoky aroma. The roasted agave is then crushed by a horse-drawn tahona (stone wheel) and left to ferment in wooden vats for several days. Finally, the fermented agave is distilled twice in small copper stills, resulting in a smooth, complex and full-bodied mezcal.
Each bottle of Mezcal Vago captures the essence of Oaxaca, with its rich history and vibrant culture. It is a true representation of the land, people and tradition that have been producing mezcal for centuries. Sip on Mezcal Vago and allow yourself to be transported to the rugged beauty of Mexico. Salud!
