| Long Description | At the heart of Mezcal Vago's family is the late Don Aquilino Garcia, a founding mezcalero of Vago whose passion and craft shaped the foundation of the brand. Today, his legacy is continued by his sons Temo and Mateo, who proudly uphold the artisanal traditions passed down through generations. The Garcia family palenque is location in Candelaria Yegolé, a remote village in Oaxaca. At more than 3,600 feet above sea level, the rugged, dry climate is ideal for growing agave with deep character. Vago's Elote, distilled by the Hijos de Aquilino Garcia, is unique to the Garcia family and honors both their heritage and everyday life. Made using 100% Espadín and traditional artesanal methods, the agave is roasted underground for 2 to 4 days, then crushed traditionally with a mule-drawn stone tahona. Fermentation takes place in open-air pine vats, lasting around one week. Elote is then double-distilled with dried kernels of heirloom corn toasted and placed in the still during the second distillation. The result is a clear, joven mezcal with a subtle Mexican corn flavor. Unique to the Garcia family, Elote is their celebration mezcal. Elote offers a flavorful, layered profile of sweet carmelized corn, roasted nuts, and vanilla balanced with a light smokiness and grain-forward finish. |
