Description: Mezcal Vago Madrecuishe by Emigdio Jarquín Ramírez is a distinguished single-varietal mezcal crafted in the high-altitude region of El Nanche, Miahuatlán, Oaxaca. Utilizing 100% Agave karwinskii (Madrecuishe), this mezcal is produced through traditional methods: the agave is roasted in conical earthen ovens, crushed using a stone tahona, fermented in wooden vats, and distilled twice in copper stills equipped with a refrescador—a technique that allows for a nuanced double distillation in a single pass.

Bottled at approximately 50.5% ABV, this expression offers a complex and layered flavor profile. Tasting notes include aromas of green apple and champagne grapes, leading to flavors reminiscent of lemon drop candies and caramel apples. The finish is noted for its minty, herbal qualities with a hint of salinity, providing a long and satisfying conclusion.

Mezcal Vago Madrecuishe is ideal for sipping neat, allowing enthusiasts to fully appreciate its intricate flavors and the craftsmanship behind its creation. Its unique profile also makes it a versatile component in cocktails, adding depth and character.
