Mezcal Artesanal Pechuga Palomo

Mezcal Artesanal Pechuga is a speciality of the Palomo distillery, which belongs to the Productores del Buen Agave Consortium. It is a fine distillate, representing the flagship of the company's range. In Mexico, it is traditionally regarded as a bottle to be tasted by connoisseurs and enthusiasts. The production process, which is particularly rich and articulated, gives a very intense palette of aromas, which differs considerably from the classic Mexican Mezcal. The fresh, citrus notes, fruity softness and spicy hints blend admirably in a deep and fascinating taste experience.

Mezcal Artesanal Pechuga marks the culmination of the Palomo distillery's continuous quest for quality. This brand of the Productores del Buen Agave Consortium has, for several generations, handed down the ancient savoir-faire in the production of artisanal Mezcals that draw on the local tradition of the Mexican state of Oaxaca. The precious distillate is the fruit of the Angustifolia Haw (Espadín) agave variety, which is processed by expert jimadors to extract its heart. After cooking the agave, the juice is fermented. The next stage involves no less than three successive distillations, which take place under the watchful eye of Mezcalero Master Carlos Méndez Blas. During the last distillation, the pechuga, a bag of chicken meat, fruit and spices, is added, through which the vapours pass before condensing, absorbing rich and complex aromatic nuances.

The Mezcal Artesanal Pechuga produced by the Palomo distillery of the Productores del Buen Agave Consortium, highlights the degree of taste intensity and elegance that Mezcal can achieve when it is made in an artisanal manner and with meticulous attention to every single detail. It is clear, crystalline and transparent in the glass. The bouquet is characterised by intense aromas of fragrant citrus fruits, aromas of freshly cut agave, vegetal nuances, aromas of ripe fruit, apricot, accompanied by slightly roasted, spicy and smoky sensations. On the palate it is broad, soft and rich, with creamy, harmonious aromas accompanying a lingering, fruity and spicy finish.
