Introducing our Hijos de Aquilino Labels

Mezcal Vago is proud to move into the next chapter in our story with our Hijos de Aquilino labels. Since the passing of Aquilino earlier this year, his sons Temo and Mateo have been preparing to carry on the family tradition. Having spent their lives at Aquilino’s side, learning his methods and gaining the knowledge handed down through generations, they have spent the last few years taking on more of the distillation duties at the family palenque. Temo and Mateo are proud to work together to build on the legacy Aquilino left them. The Vago way is to highlight our mezcaleros first and foremost. We chose “Hijos de Aquilino” (Sons of Aquilino) to credit their collective work and honor their father.

Temo García

Mateo García

“Hijos de Aquilino” is a testament to the strong family bond that exists between these two brothers as they craft their family’s mezcal in their home village of Candelaria Yegolé. Over the coming months, these new labels will start to hit shelves and backbars around the world. We encourage all of you to pull one down, pour a copita, and take a sip. Savor the flavors and enjoy the art of Temo and Mateo as they carry Mezcal Vago into the future. We are incredibly excited to see where Vago goes from here and what incredible mezcals these young maestros craft using the lessons of their forefathers. Temo, Mateo, and the rest of the Vago family thank you for your support, both past, and future.
