Producer Description
Vago Tepeztate Mezcal is a rare and exceptional expression of artisanal mezcal, crafted in the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico. Made from the wild-growing Tepeztate agave, which takes up to 30 years to mature, this mezcal is a testament to patience, tradition, and the mastery of mezcal production. Each batch is produced in limited quantities, highlighting the unique terroir and the artistry of the mezcalero.
Harvested from rocky, steep terrain, the Tepeztate agave imparts a bold and earthy complexity, creating a mezcal that is as vibrant and untamed as the landscape it comes from. Distilled using traditional methods, including earthen pits and copper stills, Vago Tepeztate captures the essence of Oaxacan craftsmanship and the soul of the agave.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Intense herbal and vegetal aromas, with notes of fresh green peppers, tropical fruit, wet stone, and wildflowers.

Finish: Long and elegant, with lingering smoke, earth, and a touch of dried herbs.

Producer Notes
Light aroma of sweet potatoes, citrus and flint. Notes of anise, bananas and plantains with a caramel, woody finish.
Situated along the banks of the Rio Atoyac River in the tiny village of Candelaria Yegolé (est. population 254), Aquilino Garcia Lopez is hard at work examining the Espadin agave maturing on his estate. His farm, which is situated over 3,500 feet above sea level, is surrounded by the Sierra Sur mountains and enjoys an intensely warm, dry climate along with a nutrient-rich soil, making it perfect for the maturation and cultivation of flavorful Espadin agave. The estate was constructed fifteen years ago, says Aquilino, by "my grandfather, father and me"(Aquilino is a third-generation mezcalero).
