Annual Pechuga Expression | Wild Highland Agave Blend | Fruited & Savory

Available now at Liquor Boutique

La Niña del Mezcal Pechuga is a special ceremonial-style mezcal made annually using the traditional pechuga method. Crafted from a wild mountain agave blend—often including Agave durangensis and other native highland species—this mezcal is roasted underground, tahona-crushed, fermented with local yeast, and double-distilled. During the third distillation, a de-boned chicken breast ("pechuga") is suspended with seasonal fruits, chile, and spices, imparting a rich, aromatic complexity. Bottled at about 45% ABV.

Tasting Notes:
Color: Clear with pale amber reflections
Nose: Savory broth, orchard fruit (pear, apple), guava, cinnamon, clove, charred agave
Palate: Creamy agave with fruit compote sweetness, meaty undertones, honey, ginger, and lightly charred spice
Finish: Long, warm, and savory-sweet—fruit, umami, and a whisper of smoke carry through
