Mezcal Vago Mezcal Vago Espadin Emigdio Jarquin Review
A lot of people think that Espadín is simply a “workhorse” agave, but that myth is quickly dispelled once you pass the $50 barrier — as evidenced by this expression from Emigdio Jarquin, one of four producers in the Mezcal Vago roster. Intense aromas of green mango and minerally wet rocks set the stage, while the palate counters with surprisingly savory notes, and a nice bite of alcohol that propels a lengthy finish.
