The agaves are wood-roasted in an underground earthen oven, milled with a traditional horse-drawn tahona, naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats with wild yeasts, and distilled in small copper pot stills. Espadín, the most widely used agave, is an indicator of the mezcalero's hand, and Emigdio's expression is one of the most highly awarded mezcals in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt shows a saline, mineral-driven style thanks to the layer of caliche in the soil around Emigdio's palenque. The nose brings smoked agave, fresh herbs, sweet citrus and earthy minerality; the palate offers roasted agave, black pepper, grilled pineapple and cacao nibs; and the finish is long, warm and slightly sweet with lingering smoke and spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery label carries full production detail, making it a favorite gift for mezcal lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoked agave, herbs, citrus, minerals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted agave, pepper, grilled pineapple, cacao.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warm, smoky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal Vago\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMezcalero:\u003c\/strong\u003e Emigdio Jarquín\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Espadín\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthen oven, horse-drawn tahona, wild fermentation, copper pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 101.6 proof (50.8% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat from a copita or jícara, or use it in a mezcal Negroni.
