Pechuga mezcal is interesting...it's a traditional mezcal made during the harvest time. The mezcal is first double distilled like all other mezcals, but then it goes through one other additional distillation with a piece of chicken or turkey breast hanging over the vat. The juices of the chicken counteract and balance the fruity tastes of the spirit. One of the distillations also uses the local harvest (varies by location and what's grown). You get this amazing recipe of traditional craftmanship, fruit infusion, and poultry essence...as strange as it sounds, it works and it's really good. So...I I opened up this bottle over Thanksgiving for some family and friends. This was a HUGE hit . We had hard core scotch geeks, wine enthusiasts, and beer connoisseurs...and this was the one bottle all seemed to have loved across the board. I've really have not had many mezcals, but this was by far the best and most memorable. The liquid is clear as water. The aromas are fruity, like ripe peaches and honeydew. The palette is amazingly complex...I got more melons and pears, but also a stony earthy flavor, almost like umami, mushrooms more specifically. Really well balanced and deeply complex. This isn't for everyday drinking, but meant to enjoy with close family and friends over special occasions. Strongly recommended!!!
