Don Mateo De La Sierra Pechuga Mezcal 750ML

Don Mateo De La Sierra Pechuga Mezcal is an exceptional and traditional expression of mezcal, crafted with time-honored methods passed down through generations in the Sierra region of Mexico. This unique mezcal derives its name, “pechuga,” from the Spanish word for “breast,” referring to the traditional practice of suspending a raw chicken breast above the still during the final distillation. This infusion imparts a distinct and complex flavor profile, making it a sought-after experience for mezcal enthusiasts.

Made from 100% Espadn agave, cooked in an underground pit oven, and crushed using a stone mill, Don Mateo De La Sierra Pechuga Mezcal embodies the artisanal spirit of traditional mezcal production. Fermented with natural yeasts and double-distilled in copper alembic stills, this mezcal offers a remarkable depth and character.
