Description
Pechuga mezcal earns its name from the cut of chicken breast suspended in the still during distillation, a step that lends the spirit quiet savory depth and added aromatic layers. This 750 ml bottling from Emigdio Jarquin arrives at 51.6% ABV, where the agave reads clearly alongside those subtler notes.
The profile runs smoky and herbaceous, with agave at the center and a faint meaty undercurrent threaded through it. The result is a complex mezcal shaped by Jarquin’s hands-on approach to traditional production methods.
