Distillery Information

Joel Barriga is a traditional mezcalero associated with Mezcal Vago, a producer focused on highlighting individual Mexican mezcal-making traditions. The Vago philosophy places the mezcalero at the center of each expression, allowing local agave, water, roasting methods and distillation techniques to shape the final spirit. Espadín is one of Oaxaca's most important cultivated agave varieties and provides a versatile foundation for artisanal mezcal. Vago's bottlings are typically produced on a small scale and identify the individual mezcalero responsible for the spirit. This producer-focused approach gives each expression a distinct sense of place and craftsmanship.
