Vago Elote Hijos de Aquilino Mezcal

A Legacy of Flavor, Distilled with Corn

Continuing the esteemed tradition of their father, the legendary Mezcalero Aquilino Garca Lpez, Temo and Mateo Garca present Vago Elote Hijos de Aquilino Mezcal. This unique 750ml expression honors their father’s legacy, crafted with the same time-honored techniques and deep knowledge passed down through generations in Oaxaca.

What sets this mezcal apart is the distinct addition of roasted corn from the family farm during its unique second-to-third distillation process. This special step infuses the spirit with a signature roasted corn character that beautifully complements the inherent qualities of the agave.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: The nose opens with inviting aromas of smoky roasted corn, reminiscent of warm, freshly grilled elote, intertwined with the earthy scent of dry river stones, hinting at the terroir of its origin.
• Palate: On the palate, this mezcal boasts a surprisingly sweet body, offering delightful hints of rich wood and delicate honeycomb. Bright notes of green tropical fruit peek through, all underscored by a consistent, yet balanced, smokiness.
• Finish: The signature roasted corn flavor takes center stage in the long and satisfying finish, leaving a distinct and memorable impression. While retaining a touch of the characteristic ruggedness often found in Vago Espadn expressions, the triple distillation lends a remarkable smoothness, softening its edges and making it exceptionally approachable.

Vago Elote Hijos de Aquilino Mezcal is more than just a spirit; it’s a testament to family tradition and innovation. The incorporation of roasted corn creates a truly unique and flavorful mezcal that pays homage to the land and the enduring legacy of Aquilino Garca Lpez. Experience a taste of Oaxacan heritage with every sip.
