Fidencio Pechuga Mezcal Espadin
| Description: | Fidencio Mezcal Pechuga is 100% Estate grown Agave Espadin, is unaged, and 45.4% alcohol volume. Enrique Jimenez is a fourth generation mezcalero and the creator of Fidencio Mezcal. Distill – The fermented juice is pumped into our alembic (pot still) and twice distilled. This is the point in the process where the Pechuga becomes unique. Undiluted Clasico is returned to the still for a third distillation. Along with the Mezcal, we add our traditional mixture of fruit: quince, apples, bananas, pineapple, and guava. A whole chicken breast (skinned and washed to remove fat) is hung from the cap of the still. The chicken breast is said to soften the intensity and round out the flavor of the Mezcal. All of the fruit used is from the mountains of Oaxaca and must be harvested during the very short quince harvest. Pechuga is produced over a short period of time at the end of each summer. The fruit will create unique expressions from year to year. The 2010 vintage was delayed 6 weeks due to rain, the most in decades. |
