Description

Xicaru Pechuga Mole Mezcal

A Celebration of Oaxacan Tradition and Flavor

This handcrafted mezcal is a true embodiment of Oaxacan heritage, blending the ceremonial pechuga tradition with the iconic flavors of mole negro. Crafted from 100% espadin maguey, roasted in an underground stone oven and mashed using a traditional tahona, this mezcal is fermented in open-air pine vats and distilled over a wood fire.

The magic happens during the second distillation, where savory-sweet mole and succulent chickens are added, imparting a rich mouthfeel and a remarkably complex flavor profile. Xicaru’s mole negro is made from scratch using molcajete-ground chilis, Oaxacan chocolate, and fresh ingredients, meticulously prepared over two days at the palenque.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Cedarwood and warm spices like cinnamon and clove mingle with mineral oil notes on fresh wood.
• Taste: Hot, woody spices intertwine with sawmill-like undertones, culminating in a vibrant green chile finish.

Experience the authentic flavors of Oaxaca in every sip of Xicaru Pechuga Mole Mezcal, a true celebration of artisanal craftsmanship and culinary tradition.
