About the Brand

Our love and appreciation of mezcal began more than 15 years ago, when very few people had a clue about mezcal, including us. It was by chance that one of our founders had a great experience with mezcal while attending a wedding in Oaxaca, and it sparked intrigue and curiosity to learn more about this mysterious spirit.

Back at this time in 2005, when most were drinking tequila, we decided to open the first mezcal bar in Mexico City: “La Botica.” This bar helped create a buzz about mezcal and was the first of many steps on our journey in the world of mezcal.

As other aficionados began to discover mezcals from Oaxaca, we were exploring the different agave regions of Mezcal’s Denomination of Origin (D.O.) – which is the largest in the world.

This helped us to learn about the different varietals of agaves, as well as the distinctive expressions from many maestros mezcaleros distilling artisanal mezcal.

When some mezcal brands had started to venture outside of Oaxaca, we were exploring less known agave regions, where excellent mezcal is produced, but cannot be legally named mezcal because it is outside of the Mezcal D.O.

We are proud to be able to present the first mezcal ever to be produced using only solar power, therefore having minimal carbon footprint & environmental impact. Moreover, the production method allows the agave flavors to shine and the mezcal features a clean, non-smoked, superb flavor profile.

About the Brand

SOMETHING INCREDIBLE HAPPENS WHEN A GROUP OF WOMEN COME TOGETHER TO CRAFT THEIR OWN ORIGINAL RECIPE FOR A DRINK THAT HAS BEEN PART OF OAXACAN LIFE FOR GENERATIONS.
Doña Vega is founded and produced by Mexican women who set out to make mezcal more accessible and approachable. For two years, through 73 recipes, 22 farms, and too many tastings to count, the Doña Vega team accomplished their goal of creating two exquisite varieties of mezcal. 

Doña Vega is produced in a small town outside Oaxaca – Santiago Matatlán by a family who has passed down the tradition for five generations.

Espadín is chosen for the large majority of all mezcal production in Mexico, however, Espadin Capon is quite rare. Doña Vega harvests the agave plant several years after it has ripened giving the final distillate a natural sweetness which is incomparable to other mezcals.

Hand-selected, handcrafted, and distilled to proof, our Doña Vega Espadín offers a mysterious and delicious drinking experience. Light smoke with undertones of fruit and a white pepper finish, yet remarkably smooth. Doña Vega Espadín is the perfect addition to any cocktail or perfect on its own.

Tasting Notes:

Bright and approachable with herbaceous notes. Roasted agave and min

The result is a mysterious and delicious drinking experience, with light smoke and a white pepper finish, yet remarkably smooth. Doña Vega Espadín is wildly versatile in cocktails and a true adventure on its own.

 Erstwhile Madre Cuishe (2021 Ancestral Limited Edition)

Distilled in clay pots and quiote.  A legacy of the era when Mezcal production was illegal in Oaxaca, this extraordinary batch of Madrecuishe crafted by Silverio García Luis – a 2021 Ancestral Limited Release – rescues a García family tradition that had been lost for about 50 years.  In the 1960's and 1970's, mezcal production was illegal in Oaxaca and other parts of Mexico.  Don Lencho, Silverio's father, used a hollowed out quiote (the flowering stalk of agave plants) instead of a copper tube, to evade the military that would come and seize his distillation equipment by force.  The García family went back to using copper stills around 1980, as prohibition came to a gradual end in Oaxaca.  Now you too can partake in this unique distillation method and family tradition from the García family in Rancho Blanco Güilá, Oaxaca, available for the first time in the United States in partnership with Erstwhile Mezcal.
