Discover YOLA Mezcal: An Artisanal Spirit Rooted in Tradition and Sustainability
Crafted from an authentic 1971 recipe passed down by the founder's grandfather, YOLA Mezcal is a true celebration of Oaxaca's rich mezcal heritage. This artisanal spirit is born from a harmonious blend of organic Espadin and Madre-Cuixe agave, sustainably produced using low-impact techniques and environmentally responsible practices.
The Essence of Sustainable Craftsmanship
At YOLA Mezcal, every step of the production process is imbued with a deep reverence for nature and tradition. Our commitment to sustainability is unwavering, from low wood distillation and solar power utilization to rainwater collection and support for local reforestation initiatives. Moreover, our modern palenque (distillery) reduces water and wood usage, ensuring that every bottle of YOLA Mezcal is a testament to our eco-conscious ethos.
A Legacy of Tradition, A Vision for the Future
Tracing its roots back to 1971, when the founder's grandfather acquired a mezcal farm in San Juan del Río, YOLA Mezcal strikes a delicate balance between preserving age-old traditions and embracing sustainable innovation. Our commitment to fair wages and steady employment for women in Oaxaca, coupled with an all-female bottling facility that supports economic independence, ensures that YOLA Mezcal is more than just a spirit – it's a movement that empowers communities and celebrates the region's cultural heritage.
A Sensorial Journey Like No Other
YOLA Mezcal is a sensorial experience that captivates from the very first sip. Its aroma is a harmonious blend of earthy smoke, mineral undertones, and hints of orange citrus. On the palate, herbaceous notes of mint intertwine with smooth, oily textures, complemented by nuances of green pepper, citrus, and smoke. As the flavors linger, subtle hints of vanilla and butterscotch emerge, culminating in a beautiful, lingering finish that requires no rinsing.
Savor the authentic taste of Oaxaca with YOLA Mezcal, a spirit that embodies tradition, sustainability, and the passion of three dynamic women: Yola Jimenez, Gina Correll Aglietti, and Lykke Li.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
