Mezcal Vago is a Mexican artisanal mezcal producer based in the state of Oaxaca, specializing in small-batch mezcals crafted by independent maestro mezcaleros and their families. The brand was founded by Judah Kuper and Dylan Sloan with the goal of showcasing authentic regional mezcal styles while preserving traditional production methods passed down through generations. Rather than operating a single distillery, Mezcal Vago collaborates with several family-owned producers across different regions of Oaxaca, each using their own techniques and local agave varieties. Agave is roasted in underground stone pit ovens, crushed with a traditional tahona stone wheel or by hand, naturally fermented in open wooden vats, and distilled in either copper stills or clay pot stills, depending on local tradition. Every bottle includes detailed information about the agave variety, place of origin, mezcalero, batch number, and distillation date, ensuring complete traceability. The brand places a strong emphasis on preserving cultural heritage, maintaining fair partnerships with producers, and promoting the sustainable cultivation of agave.
