Traditionally reserved for special occasions, Yola's Pechuga Mezcal is an ultra-premium sipping spirit. It is made from 8-year-old Espadín agave and undergoes a third distillation infused with seasonal fruits such as orange, tangerine, lime, guava, pineapple, and tejocote, along with spices and a turkey breast suspended above the still.
Yola Mezcal is a renowned mezcal producer based in Oaxaca, Mexico, known for its commitment to traditional production methods and empowering women in the local community. The company was founded by Yola Jimenez, Gina Correll Aglietti, and musician Lykke Li, inspired by a mezcal recipe from Yola's grandfather dating back to 1971.
Their mezcal is crafted from organically grown agave on a family farm in San Juan del Río, using artisanal distillation methods that preserve the authenticity and quality of the spirit. Notably, their distillery is entirely women-led, providing fair wages and support to employees, contributing to the economic empowerment of women in the region.
