Mezcal Vago works with four maestros mezcaleros and their families in the remote mountains of southern Oaxaca, each about three hours from Oaxaca City in a different direction. Every bottle is a joven mezcal from a traditional palenque, and the front label names the mezcalero, the agave, the grind, the still and the batch size. Don Aquilino García was a founding member, and his sons Temo and Mateo now carry on the family craft in Candelaria Yegolé. Vago takes part in the Bat-Friendly program, letting some agaves flower so nectar-feeding bats can pollinate them.
