Fidencio Pechuga Mezcal
Mezcal Joven
Fidencio // Oaxaca, Mexico
Pechuga mezcals take the fruits, grains and any other spoils of the harvest (in this case: quince, pineapple, apple banana, and guavas) and uses them in this very special type of mezcal. After your two normal distillations, the freshly-harvested fruits are added to the mezcal and allowed to macerate, imparting their flavors.
Before the still is fired up for a third distillation, a chicken breast is suspended in the still at the neck and the vapors from distillation pass through it. The agave used in this case is the espadín.

Tasting Notes
"You can really smell the fruits used in this pechuga, the guava and pineapple being the most prominent. It all culminates on the palate in an oddly gin-like profile with the addition of white flower and pine notes. The celebration of the harvest really shines in this mezcal."
