Del Maguey Pechuga Mezcal
| Winery: | Del Maguey |

| Description: | Pechuga has a nose of basil, lemon, ocean, and fruit. It is almost scotch-like in its smoky taste. And yes, in addition it is salty, very soft, and tastes a wee bit like chicken. The Pechuga production season is limited to year end due to the special ingredients: Wild mountain apples and plums that must be in season and cannot be substituted. This mezcal is the most rare we have ever encountered. Pechuga is begun with Minero mezcal that has already been double distilled. in preparation fo a third distillation they place about 100 liters of mezcal in th estill and add about 100 kilos of wild mountan apples and plums, big red plantain bananas, pineapples, a handful of almonds and a few pounds of uncooked whited rice. Next, a whole chicken breast (pechuga), skin removed, bone structure complete, is washed in running water for about three hours to remove any grease. This is then suspended by strings in the atmosphere of the still and a 24 hour, third distillation is begun. The vapor passes over the pechuga and condenses into a crystal clear liquoid that has an amazing taste and smoothness. The reason for the breast they say, is so the mizcal is not dominated by the fruit. a balance. Upon completion the pechuga is removedfrom the still and hung in the family Altar room. the most important space in the house. |
