Vago Espadín Mezcal
A Pure Expression of Miahuatlan Terroir
Discover the authentic soul of Oaxaca with Vago Espadín Mezcal, a testament to the artistry of renowned mezcalero Emigdio Jarquín Ramirez. Crafted in Miahuatlan, this exceptional 750ml mezcal embodies the high-quality standards of the Ejutla/Miahuatlan region.
Made from carefully selected Espadín agave, the piñas are traditionally crushed by a stone tahona wheel, and the spirit is twice-distilled in a copper refrescadera still, resulting in a mezcal of remarkable purity and character.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The initial nosing presents a compelling overtone of black pepper and enticing smoke, which gracefully evolves to reveal a vibrant fruity fragrance. A final, refreshing note of mint lingers, adding a unique aromatic complexity.
- Palate: The first sip offers intriguing hints of acetone that quickly give way to a rich caramel sweetness and distinct minerally flavors. This unfolds into a nuanced profile reminiscent of a warm, boiled pear dessert, beautifully accented by notes of cassia cinnamon and clove – a delightful echo of carrot cake without the frosting's sweetness.
Vago Espadín Mezcal is a true reflection of Emigdio Jarquín Ramirez's dedication to traditional methods and the unique terroir of Miahuatlan. Each sip is a journey through the heart of Oaxacan mezcal-making, offering a balanced and complex spirit that is both approachable and deeply satisfying. Savor it neat to fully appreciate its nuanced flavors and the meticulous craftsmanship behind every bottle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
