The Story
Hernan Fernando, originally from Tlacolula de Matamoros, emigrated to Los Angeles in an effort to support his family. He began with nothing and worked as a dishwasher at PF Chang's before quickly rising to barback and ultimately to founding his own restaurants and tequila brand. With a desire to return to his Oaxacan roots Hernan created Hijos de Zoila Mezcal - a tribute to his mother and grandmother.
Crafted with Precision: By partnering with the Nolasco family—fourth-generation maguey growers and producers—the Mezcal is imbued with a rich legacy. Produced near the scenic San Luis del Rio in a rustic palenque, the Nolasco family’s wisdom resonates in every sip.
Bold by Design: A high-proof nectar clocking in at 48% ABV, Hijos de Zoila is a robust Mezcal that doesn't compromise flavor or authenticity. Its powerful notes result from a unique 7-9 day fermentation process, tahona-crushed maguey, and an intricately designed copper alambique distillation cooled by local river water.
Art in Every Detail: The bottle is a work featuring a label designed by Maestro Reyes, a native Oaxacan artist. His final masterpiece adds another layer of cultural richness to the brand.
Taste the Legacy: Hernan Fernando's family values, respect for tradition, and perseverance are distilled into every drop. It’s more than a drink; it's a testament to the beauty of dreams nurtured by roots and cultivated with love.
Indulge in the rich, complex flavors of Hijos de Zoila Artisanal Mezcal and experience a heritage that spans generations. Your palate deserves nothing less.
