Yyo Tequila was founded by Jon Bullinger, who discovered a family-run farm in the Highlands of Arandas, Jalisco the birthplace of the famed Mexican spirit. It was there, on the red clay soil that produces the finest blue agaves, that his entry into the world of tequila would begin. His quest for the perfect balance of pepper, sweetness, and spice would lead him through countless hours of testing, tasting, and assessing. Yyo Tequila is a product of the highest quality ingredients and a refined distilling process. Only fully-matured agaves from a single estate are used, ones that have never seen any pesticides or chemicals. They are then roasted for 72 hours in brick ovens as tradition dictates bringing out the flavors. The quest for perfection requires some drastic measures, which is why Spanish classical music is played to the pulp during the 200 hours of fermentation. The next step is double distillation in copper-pot stills, resulting in a crisp and clean spirit that is a smooth sipper and versatile mixer at the same time. Handcrafted in small batches, Yyo Tequila Silver is made at the Vivanco family farm from 100% blue agaves and is bottled at 80 proof. The family has 4 generations of tequila-making behind them, ensuring that the resulting spirit is of the highest quality.

The Yéyo legacy began with the Vivanco family, renowned for their estate-grown agave and exceptional tequila-making traditions. Four generations of the Vivanco family have tended to their agave plantations in Arandas, Jalisco, and in 1994, they realized their dream of acquiring their own distillery, Destilería El Ranchito. With over 2,000 acres of estate-grown agave, the Vivanco family continues to elevate the art of tequila-making through a blend of tradition and innovation.
