Montelobos Pechuga Mezcal
Pechuga Mezcal | 47.9% ABV (95.8 Proof) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
This festive mezcal from Montelobos is distilled three times: first as a classic Espadín, then again after hanging a turkey breast (pechuga) in the still along with seasonal fruits and spices. Crafted with organically grown Espadín in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, the agave is slow-cooked in stone pit ovens, mashed via tahona, fermented in pine vats, and double-distilled in copper stills before the third distillation adds a savory, celebratory dimension.
