OUR MEZCAL IS HANDCRAFTED, DISTILLED ON OUR NAMESAKE FARM, BOTTLED BY WOMEN, WITH A RECIPE PASSED DOWN FROM YOLA’S GRANDFATHER.

 IN 1971, LUIS JIMENEZ PURCHASED A MEZCAL FARM IN SAN JUAN DEL RIO, OAXACA. 

TODAY, WE STILL HONOR HIS ORIGINAL RECIPE, ABIDING BY THE 300-YEAR-OLD METHOD OF TRADITIONAL MEZCAL MAKING.

WE ARE DEDICATED TO PROMOTING THE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE OF THE WOMEN IN OAXACA.

Handcrafted and organic, YOLA Mezcal follows a distinctive recipe from 1971 passed down by Yola’s grandfather.

We preserve the 400-year-old tradition of artisanal mezcal making and distilling on the premises of our namesake farm. Founded and run by women, YOLA Mezcal's all female hand-bottling facility offers direct pay, and we are proud to promote autonomy and economic independence for our partners in Oaxaca and across borders.
