Emigdio distills outside of Miahuatln de Porfirio Daz. We are very proud and excited to have finally found a mezcalero from this area we can put in a Vago bottle. Miahuatln is a historically important town in mezcal production as well as where both Aquilino and To Reys families emigrated from. By adding Emigdio to the family, we are able to extend the conversation of our history and tradition even further back in time.

Emigdios land is in the Nanche district of Miahuatln de Porfirio Diaz (1623’51.4″N 9633’03.5″W), about 2 hours directly South of Oaxaca City. The palenque sits at around 4,970 ft., among gently rolling hills and shallow arroyos in an arid climate. In the surrounding area grows Agave Espadn, Mexicano Verde, Tobal, Tepeztate, Arroqueo, Pulquero, Madre Cuixe, and Bicuixe (Cuixe).
