Mezcal Vago Ensamble en Barro

Mezcal Vago Ensamble en Barro is a clay-pot-distilled joven mezcal from Sola de Vega, Oaxaca — a blend (ensamble) of agave varietals whose proportions shift with every release, making each batch unique.

“En barro” means the spirit is distilled in clay pots, a traditional method that lends a softer, earthier character. Because the Ensamble is built from a mixture of agaves and the percentages vary release to release, a bottle from one year can differ noticeably from the next. Made in a traditional palenque with no additives, it is joven (young) and clear with full production detail on the label.
