Mas Mezcal

At Vago, we believe in walking away from the beaten path, losing ourselves in the hills, and searching out the extraordinary. We seek out small batch mezcaleros, who for generations have been perfecting their craft deep in the mountains of Southern Oaxaca. Dust off a bottle and drink it in.

NEW! RELEASE! ALERT!…. NEW! RELEASE! ALERT!

It has certainly been a minute since we did a special release for our good friends in California. In an effort to make up for it, we waited for something truly special, and undoubtedly, this 100% Barril en Barro from Tío Rey fits that bill. Produced in the fall of 2019, this new expression for Tío Rey was produced from what we typically would recognize as cultivated Madre Cuixe. At only 245 liters, this entire 50-case batch is currently landing on shelves and back bars in the Golden State. It is sure to be a bright spot in the summer sipping season.

Tech Sheets

For the first time in over two years, Tío Rey has released a batch of pure Arroqueño en Barro. Typically, Tío Rey can only harvest a couple of ripe piñas at a time, he occasionally has enough ripening at the same time to produce a batch of pure Arroqueño. One of the all-time favorites in the Vago lineup, his last batch is still talked about in mezcalerías around the country and traded on internet message boards. While the last batch was limited to less than 92 liters, this new batch is a bit larger, with 85 cases available.
