Pechuga

8 items in this collection.

Pechuga is a unique and traditional style of mezcal that originates from Oaxaca, Mexico. Unlike other mezcals, Pechuga undergoes a special third distillation process where fruits, spices, and a raw, skinless chicken breast (or sometimes turkey, rabbit, or other meats) are added to the still. The name "Pechuga" translates to "breast" in Spanish, referring to the meat used in this process.

The preparation of Pechuga is typically reserved for special occasions and celebrations, making it one of the most ceremonial and revered types of mezcal. The meat, suspended in the still, does not directly touch the liquid but instead infuses the mezcal with its essence as the vapors pass through it during distillation. The fruits and spices, which can include apples, pears, plums, bananas, and cinnamon, among others, add layers of complexity to the mezcal's flavor profile.

The resulting Pechuga mezcal is usually rich and complex, with a distinctive savory note that complements the underlying smoky, earthy, and fruity characteristics typical of mezcal. The alcohol content of Pechuga mezcal generally ranges between 45% to 50% ABV, providing a robust and full-bodied experience.

Pechuga is traditionally enjoyed neat, sipped slowly to savor its intricate flavors. Due to its elaborate production process and the use of premium ingredients, Pechuga mezcal is often produced in small batches and is considered a rare and special offering in the world of mezcal, making it highly sought after by mezcal enthusiasts and collectors.
