A living tradition in every bottle, Yola Pechuga Mezcal is crafted through a rare third distillation in which a turkey breast hangs above a bath of seasonal fruits, drawing flavor into the spirit in a way no other method can replicate.


Produced at Yola Distillery in San Juan del Rio, Oaxaca under NOM 524, this blanco mezcal is infused during its final distillation with orange, tangerine, lime, guayaba, pineapple, and tejocote, a process that layers bright citrus complexity over the spirit's natural smokiness. The bottle itself is crafted from recycled glass with an embossed label and gold foil finish, a fitting vessel for a mezcal of this character.


  • Nose: Guayaba, freshly picked mandarin orange, and a distant whisper of campfire smoke
  • Palate: Full bodied and aromatic, with citrus and roasted fruit in harmony alongside a gentle, inviting smokiness
  • Finish: Long and exceptionally smooth, with a distinctive lingering sweetness that sets this pechuga apart

Yola Pechuga shines served neat or on a large rock, though its citrus-forward profile makes it a stunning base for a Mezcal Paloma or a fruit-forward Mezcal Sour.


Best enjoyed neat or lightly chilled to honor its craft; this expression hails from San Juan del Rio, Oaxaca, a region celebrated for mezcal of remarkable depth and authenticity.

Yola Mezcal is made on the family farm and distillery in San Juan del Río, Oaxaca, in the Zapotec mountains about two hours from Oaxaca City. Agaves are harvested at seven to ten years, roasted for 96 hours in underground ovens and crushed by a horse-drawn tahona. The mash ferments naturally for six days, is distilled twice and rests in recycled glass before an all-female team bottles it under master mezcalera Guadalupe Bautista. The recipe dates to 1971 and was passed down to Yola Jimenez by her grandfather, Luis Jimenez.
LOCATION

San Juan del Río, Oaxaca

San Juan del Río is a small municipality of about 1,400 people in the Tlacolula district, set in a river valley in the mountains east of Oaxaca City. At about 1,130 meters it sits well below the Tlacolula valley and is warmer than the valley towns. Mezcal is made here by family producers, as it is in the neighboring river villages of Santa Ana del Río and San Luis del Río. Producers work with cultivated Espadín as well as wild agaves such as Jabalí from the surrounding hills.
