Vago Tepeztate SJR Mezcal Joven 750ml

Producer Description

Vago Tepeztate Mezcal is a rare and exceptional expression of artisanal mezcal, crafted in the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico. Made from the wild-growing Tepeztate agave, which takes up to 30 years to mature, this mezcal is a testament to patience, tradition, and the mastery of mezcal production. Each batch is produced in limited quantities, highlighting the unique terroir and the artistry of the mezcalero.

Harvested from rocky, steep terrain, the Tepeztate agave imparts a bold and earthy complexity, creating a mezcal that is as vibrant and untamed as the landscape it comes from. Distilled using traditional methods, including earthen pits and copper stills, Vago Tepeztate captures the essence of Oaxacan craftsmanship and the soul of the agave.
