Mezcal Vago is proud to move into the next chapter in our story with our Hijos de Aquilino labels. Since the passing of Aquilino earlier this year, his sons Temo and Mateo have been preparing to carry on the family tradition. Having spent their lives at Aquilino’s side, learning his methods and gaining the knowledge handed down through generations, they have spent the last few years taking on more of the distillation duties at the family palenque. Temo and Mateo are proud to work together to build on the legacy Aquilino left them. The Vago way is to highlight our mezcaleros first and foremost. We chose “Hijos de Aquilino” (Sons of Aquilino) to credit their collective work and honor their father.
Mezcal Vago began when co-founder Judah Kuper visited a hospital in Oaxaca, Mexico. He fell in love with the nurse who treated him. Her father, Aquilino Garcia, was a sustenance farmer who also produced mezcal. Judah and Aquilino, along with Judah's longtime friend Dylan Sloan, launched Mezcal Vago. In 2013, their first exported bottles arrived in Texas. Each of their mezcals is produced naturally in a traditional palenque with no additives. The brand aims to empower both the master craftsmen with a celebration of his art. Also the consumer by giving them the knowledge they need to find a great mezcal. The brand claims to plant 3 agaves for each single agave they harvest. Their goal is to end the use wild agave by 2025 for most of their releases.
