Mezcal Vago Elote Review | The Most Unique Artisanal Mezcal?

from Tasting Tequila with Brad · host Bradley Niccum

Mezcal Vago Elote Review | The Most Unique Artisanal Mezcal? Is Mezcal Vago Elote one of the most unique artisanal mezcals ever made? In this comprehensive review, Brad explores Mezcal Vago Elote, an exceptional artisanal mezcal produced in Oaxaca using traditional methods passed down through generations. Learn how 100% Espadín agave is roasted in an underground pit oven, crushed with a tahona, naturally fermented with wild yeast in open-air wooden vats, and triple distilled in copper pot stills. What makes this expression truly unique is its third distillation, where roasted heirloom corn (elote) is added directly into the still, creating distinctive roasted corn, buttery, and savory flavors unlike any traditional mezcal or tequila. Brad also shares the history behind this expression, originally created by the late Aquilino García López and now produced by his sons, before diving into a detailed tasting that covers the aroma, palate, mouthfeel, finish, overall value, and who this mezcal is best suited for.
