A marvellous expression from Mezcal Vago, this Ancestral mezcal was produced by mezcalero Tío Rey using a combination of Espadín, Coyote, and Mexicano agave, roasted in earthen ovens for several days, before being hand-ground with wooden mallets. The grinding is a family affair with everyone from the children to the grandparents grabbing a mallet and getting stuck in! Distilled in small clay pots, this traditional method takes a great deal of expertise, which shines through in this supremely complex sipper.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Vegetal herbs with earthen spice, juicy agave, robust, roasted notes with a touch of honeyed parsnip and oily menthol beneath.
