MEZCAL VAGO Espadin by Emigdio Jarquin

Crafted in the rich, fertile Miahuatlán valley, remotely located a 2.5 hours’ drive south of Oaxaca City at 4,970 ft elevation. This Espadín is a wonderful expression of a saline and mineral-driven style, due to the layer of caliche in the soil surrounding Emigdio’s palenque. Espadín mezcals, due to the proliferation of the varietal in mezcal, is an indicator of the hand of the mezcalero, and Emigdio’s expression is one of the most highly awarded mezcals in history.
