Process & Profile
Mezcal Vago Elote by Hijos de Aquilino García is an artisanal mezcal crafted in Candelaria Yegolé, Oaxaca, continuing the legacy of the late maestro mezcalero Aquilino García López. Produced from 100% Espadín agave, this mezcal undergoes a traditional double distillation before roasted corn (elote) is added for a third and final distillation, infusing the spirit with subtle sweetness and roasted complexity. Bottled at around 50% ABV, each batch is small and unfiltered, showcasing the pure, additive-free essence of Oaxaca’s terroir.
