Mas Mezcal

At Vago, we believe in walking away from the beaten path, losing ourselves in the hills, and searching out the extraordinary. We seek out small batch mezcaleros, who for generations have been perfecting their craft deep in the mountains of Southern Oaxaca. Dust off a bottle and drink it in.

This special release of Tepeztate is an exciting collaboration with Argonaut Wine & Liquor in Denver, CO. With Vago Co-Founders Judah Kuper and Dylan Sloan having Colorado roots, it has always been a “home market” of sorts, with some of our biggest fans and best friends. Argonaut is no exception. We are very excited to share this special batch of 50 liters of Tepeztate from Emigdio Jarquín that we put aside to rest in glass for one year, allowing it to be designated as Madurado en Vidrio.

Our latest special release is something we have patiently been waiting for the last few years! Those that follow Mezcal Vago likely know that we have been working with maestro Joel Barriga for a while now, bottling the 100% Espadín he and his son Adán produce in the village of Hacienda Tapanala, hidden in the Oaxacan Sierra Madre del Sur. Over this time we have had several conversations with them about producing other expressions to complement their Espadín and showcase the skill of the father-son team. Well, 2020 is the year! We are very proud to announce our second Colorado-exclusive release is a wonderful ensamble of Tepeztate and Tobalá produced in January of 2020!
