Xila is a remarkable achievement from Mexico City’s first female owned distillery, blending the earthy soul of artisanal Espadín mezcal with seven hand-selected botanicals. Inspired by the Zapotec word for woman, this vibrant aperitif balances the gentle heat of ancho chile and cinnamon with the floral elegance of hibiscus and lavender. It offers a sophisticated, lower alcohol experience that feels like a modern tribute to traditional Mexican flavors. You can truly taste the dedication of founder Hillhamn Salomé in every spicy and sweet drop of this sustainable, solar powered spirit.
