OUR journey
We are two female agave spirits enthusiasts introduced during a season of change and inspired to create a mezcal brand with wild agaves that appealed to our tastes - less smokey, subtle and approachable. The result - MayaJules mezcal, whose name was inspired by Mayahuel the Aztec Goddess of Agave. With MayaJules we bring the energy of the ancient Goddess to the modern world. MayaJules is not just a great spirit but an experience of sensuality and joy!
As a premium mezcal for all, our goal is to bring the experience of the beauty of Oaxacan culture, the stories of our master mezcalaras, the sensuality of the divine feminine and the joy of sharing a great spirit to the world!
