Mezcal Real Minero de Pechuga

REAL MINERO - Pechuga

This Mezcal is a celebration mezcal. Often, Maestros set aside a batch of "Pechuga" for their friends to celebrate their death. Produced only in the fruit season, this mezcal is made after the distillation of agaves previously roasted underground, fermented naturally then distilled twice in a terracotta still (!!). For Pechuga, this mezcal is put again in the still with fruits, usually plantain, bitter apples, plums, almonds. Some add spices like cinnamon or star anise. But what makes this mezcal special is the fact of putting a chicken breast in the atmosphere of the still. The vapors from the infused mezcal will slide onto this piece of chicken after condensation. After much research, we still wonder why this is.

Don't be afraid, this mezcal doesn't taste like KFC, but like mezcal with deep aromatic notes of fruit and spice.

Can be reserved for initiates or curious novices!

🍸 A very rare mezcal, produced in micro-batches to be enjoyed alone or with a craft beer as an accompaniment. To be enjoyed well accompanied or packed away, for the more patient.

Real Minero is considered by many to be one of the best mezcal producers in the world.
