Tasting Notes:

• Prepare your palate for an intriguing and nuanced experience. Vago Pechuga opens with an inviting aroma that hints at cooked agave intertwined with bright citrus notes like orange zest and a whisper of tropical fruit sweetness, perhaps pineapple or guava.
• A subtle, savory undertone emerges, a delicate brothiness that speaks to the pechuga infusion, adding an unexpected depth. On the palate, the mezcal unfolds with a smooth and velvety texture. The initial sweetness of cooked agave gives way to a fascinating interplay of flavors. The fruity notes become more pronounced, balanced by a warm embrace of cinnamon, clove, and perhaps a touch of star anise. The savory element from the pechuga is present, not overpowering, but adding a unique umami richness and a subtle hint of herbal complexity.
• The finish is long and lingering, leaving you with a pleasant warmth, a whisper of smoke, and the lingering sweetness of fruit and spice.
