Fidencio Pechuga Mezcal
Product image may differ in appearance from the actual product.
Product Type: Mezcal
Size: 750mL
Region: Mexico
Description: Pechuga Mezcal is made using a traditional method of roasting the agave piñas, similar to that used for Clásico Mezcal. However, what sets Pechuga apart is its unique distillation process. After undergoing two distillations, undiluted Clásico Mezcal is put back in the still for a third distillation and bottled, undiluted, at 45.4%. Along with the mezcal, a traditional mixture of fruit – including quince, apples, bananas, pineapple, and guava – is added. A whole chicken breast, skinned and washed to remove all fat, is hung from the cap of the still. It is believed that the chicken breast helps to soften the intensity and round out the flavor of the mezcal. All of the fruit used in Pechuga is harvested from the mountains of Oaxaca during the short quince harvest season, and Pechuga is produced for a short time at the end of the summer each year. The flavor of the fruit can vary from year to year.
