mezcal artesanal.
La Ventilla in San Felipe is one of two tiny regions in Guanajuato that produce mezcal.
Our centuries-old above-ground ovens highlight the bright, herbal and floral qualities of 10-12 year agave salmiana.
We slow cook our agave piñas in these ovens for three days before extracting their juice.

lucy pistolas.
She is a symbol of the ongoing fight for women to be respected, recognized and valued for their contributions.
Women during the Mexican revolution played an extremely important role. Some fought in battle. Some cooked, cleaned, and marched next to the soldiers, many times with their children on their backs. Some cared for the wounded. Many women sold their belongings, most often their only items of value, to join the fight for justice and equality.
They were strong, determined and fearless.
Lucy is our tribute to these women who fought to reclaim the lands where Lucy Pistolas' mezcal distillery stands today.
chingonerías.
Lucy, in its original Latin form meaning "light," shines a light on women's impact throughout history and the current bravery and badassery of so many women today.
The name Pistolas (pistols) serves as a historical symbol of the ongoing fight and the spirit of changing the status quo. A revolution.
We are a fiercely independent brand with a mission to showcase a spirit that stands out for its cultural and historical significance, as well as its unique regional production methods, distinctive flavors, and the importance of women's roles in it all.
Our label is intentionally bold and unconventional, reflecting the bravery and vibrancy of Mexican culture.
agave sustainability.
Agave salmiana naturally reproduces with "hijuelos," which means baby agaves start popping up next to their mother.
When they're ready, these babies are meticulously replanted in the wild so they can reach maturity on their own. In as little as three years later, they start having hijuelos of their own.
​
One wild, salmiana agave has an average of three to four hijuelos. We carefully maintain this cycle to ensure the salmiana plant continues to thrive for years to come.
