Description

• Mezcal Vago produces their mezcals in palenques dispersed throughout the mountain outskirts of Zoquitlan, Oaxaca. Small, traditional production still reigns supreme in these areas. Aquilino Garcia Lopezs' palenque is located in the small village of Candeleria Yegole, on the border of the Central Valley and Sierra Sur regions of Oaxaca. Yegole is a relatively arid region of Oaxaca, yet sits on the confluence of two major rivers. Using wild Agave this Mexicano has a nose of peaches and cinnamon, a silky body, a well-balanced palate of ocean breeze and hot desert rocks with a finish of toasted vanilla and caramel.
