Mezcal Vago Elote By Aquilino Garcia 750ml

Expert Review

Ultimate Spirits Challenge Top 100 of 2020 96 Points | Mezcal Vago is the business creation of Judah Kuper in conjunction with his in-laws in Oaxaca – a family of distillers that have been making mezcal for generations. Vago marks the first time their products have been available commercially, having previously been consumed solely by friends and family.

The Elote is the classic Espadin expression from Judah’s father-in-law Aquilino Garca Lpez macerated with toasted Mexican corn. Like other producers use Pechuga (chicken breast) to add flavor, the toasted corn creates a creamier, softer mouthfeel that is insanely tasty and addictive.

Overall, the Vago mezcales are some of the most exciting new spirits we’ve seen from Mexico in years and we couldn’t be more excited about offering them to our customers. Now distilled by Aquilano Garcia Lopez’s children after his tragic and untimely death in 2020.
