Mezcal Vago Elote (Espadin + Roasted Corn)

Discover the cult favorite that helped put Vago on the map. Mezcal Vago Elote is crafted in Oaxaca using Espadín agave and infused with roasted heirloom corn during the second distillation. The result is a smooth, toasty spirit with soft sweetness and gentle smoke — approachable and delicious for both mezcal newcomers and aficionados alike.

Made by Aquilino García López using traditional clay pot stills and native yeast fermentation, Elote delivers a rich, terroir-driven experience that’s just as good neat as it is in a cocktail.

This is the ultimate “gateway” mezcal: expressive, mellow, and crowd-pleasing.
