Tosba Pechuga Mezcal

What makes Pechuga special, however, is the third distillation – where wild pineapple, blackberries, bananas, wild apples, plums, cinnamon, and (yes) a raw turkey breast are suspended in a cotton net above the liquid, infusing the spirit with rich, complex flavors.

The result is profound – a dense, expressive mezcal with autumnal notes of almonds, baked apple, grilled pineapple, basil and even chocolate. The umami character from the protein suspension creates a uniquely rich mouthfeel and extraordinary persistence of flavor. Though the alc. % varies slightly from batch to batch, this one checks in just above 48%.
