Mezcal Vago Espadín by Emigdio JarquínMezcal Artesanal | 50–52% ABV (varies by batch) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Mezcal Vago Espadín by Emigdio Jarquín is crafted in the village of Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, using 100% agave Espadín. The agaves are wood-roasted in an underground earthen oven, milled with a traditional horse-drawn tahona, and naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats using wild yeasts. Distillation takes place in small copper pot stills, resulting in a bold, terroir-driven spirit. Bottled at true artisanal strength (often above 50% ABV), each batch varies slightly, showcasing the seasonal and environmental influences of the production year.
