Mezcal Vago Elote By Aquilino Garcia Lopez

Mezcal Vago believes in walking away from the beaten path, losing ourselves in the hills, and searching out the extraordinary. As corn and agave are the essence of rural Mexico, Elote celebrates the importance of both to our heritage, culture, and daily life. The adding of another ingredient before final distillation is typical of a traditional celebration mezcal. Unique to our family, Elote is our celebration mezcal. Agave: Espadin (a.
