Vago is a respected mezcal brand known for its commitment to artisanal production and its deep connection to traditional mezcal-making practices. Based in Oaxaca, Mexico, Vago produces a range of high-quality mezcals that reflect the diversity of the region's agave varieties and the craftsmanship of local producers.

Vago’s mezcals are crafted using traditional methods, including roasting agave hearts in earthen pits, which imparts a distinctive smoky flavor. After roasting, the agave is crushed, fermented with natural yeasts, and distilled in copper stills or clay pots, depending on the specific expression. This meticulous process results in mezcals with complex and varied flavor profiles, showcasing notes of smoke, earth, fruit, and spices.

One of Vago’s notable offerings is its lineup of single-village mezcals, each made from a specific type of agave and produced in collaboration with local palenqueros (mezcal producers). These single-village mezcals highlight the unique characteristics of their origins, offering a glimpse into the diverse terroirs and traditions of Oaxaca.

Vago’s dedication to quality and authenticity has earned it a strong reputation in the mezcal community. The brand’s mezcals are appreciated for their depth, complexity, and the care taken in preserving traditional production techniques, making them a favorite among mezcal enthusiasts and collectors.
