Mascota

 When it comes to making tequila, Melly Barajas, Founder and Master Distiller of the award winning distillery; Vinos y Licores Azteca, is in a league of her own. Many tequila brands are passed down from generation to generation, but Vinos y Licores Azteca was founded in 1999, solely by Melly Barajas, wherein she created the distillery in order to fulfill her father’s wish. After seeing tequila’s Denomination of Origin of Mexico acknowledged in a European magazine, he told his daughter that he would like to have a tequila with his name on it. In an industry in which approximately only 8% of tequila producers are women, Melly created Vinos y Licores Azteca, a distillery business made up entirely of women. For the past two decades, Melly Barajas has built a growing distillery business that is now recognized worldwide.
