Vago

Vago sets the benchmark for understanding how agave variety and production method shape mezcal character through its clay pot distillation, the most ancient production method, and wild-harvested agave including Espadin, Tobalá, and Mexicano varieties. Produced by two separate Oaxacan mezcaleros in Sola de Vega and Miahuatlán, its single-maestro releases labeled with the distiller's name pioneered producer transparency in the category. With over 15 distinct expressions, Vago outperforms #2 Del Maguey in showcasing raw agave influence, offering a 40% higher proportion of wild agave in its lineup. Each batch is carefully tracked from harvest to bottle.
