It has cereal organoleptic notes with tones of pineapple and lime. Distilled with Turkey Breast, Venison, Iguana, Rabbit and more than 20 ingredients; under the secret recipe of Master Mezcalera María Delia Vargas. Ideal to drink alone, or accompanied by white meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mezcal is made using traditional production methods that have been passed down through generations of mezcaleros in the region. The name Pechuga comes from the Spanish word for \"breast,\" as this type of mezcal is traditionally made by hanging a raw chicken breast above the distillation pot during the final distillation. The steam from the cooking mezcal infuses the chicken breast with flavor, which is then distilled along with the mezcal to create a unique and complex flavor profile. This Pechuga does not use chicken, but Turkey, Venison, Iguana, Rabbit and tons of different fruits, nuts and spices! Don Mateo De la Sierra Pechuga Mezcal is made from 100% Cupreata agave, which is cooked in an underground pit oven and then crushed using a traditional stone mill. The resulting juice is fermented using naturally occurring yeasts before being distilled twice in copper alembic stills. During the final distillation, the turkey, venison, iguana, rabbit and all the fruits, nuts \u0026amp; spices are hung above the still to infuse the mezcal with its unique flavor. The nose of Don Mateo De la Sierra Pechuga Mezcal is rich and complex, with notes of cooked agave, smoke, and roasted meat, as well as a hint of fruit and spice. On the palate, the mezcal is smooth and full-bodied, with flavors of caramel, vanilla, and a subtle smokiness that lingers on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winebow","offers":[{"title":"750","offer_id":49834047045918,"sku":"12019024","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2505\/0654\/files\/don_mateo_de_la_sierra_pechuga___26880.webp?v=1757187727"},{"product_id":"macurichos-espadin-destilado-con-cacao-mezcal","title":"Macurichos Espadin Destilado Con Cacao Mezcal","description":"\u003cp\u003eMezcal produced in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca by Maestro Mezcalero Valentin Martinez Sernas. Made from 100% Espadín (Agave angustifolia) matured between 6–12 years. Agave cooked in an earthen oven, milled using traditional stone tahona mill, then fermented in wood vats \u0026amp; distilled twice using a traditional clay pot still. The second distillation sees the addition of fresh Oaxacan cacao made by Gonzalo’s sisters. Hot cocoa on the nose; the palate is graceful and light on its feet with pink peppercorn, jasmine, and herbs; light but pronounced smoke gives a mature backbone to the notes of cacao and the finish is salty and earthy 48.8% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch) Oaxaca is famous for its chocolate and with good reason! The aroma of this spirit transports you to a roadside comida in Matatlán, the scent of hot cocoa rising to meet you long before you even get your nose to the glass. Led by the young and brilliant maestro mezcalero Gonzalo Martinez, Mezcal Macurichos is dedicated to the protection of both the cultural tradition and the agricultural heritage of agave within the iconic mezcal production community of Santiago Matatlán. The family palenque was founded in 1963 by Rosalino Martinez Ruiz and his son Rafael Martinez Hernandez after a long history of previous generations working for or renting other palenques. Today, Gonzalo and his three brothers continue to distill at the same site their grandfather and father established six decades ago. With a strong focus on community, the family employs numerous neighbors and is one of only a handful of distillers in the area who still produce using Ancestral methods, including clay pot stills. The brothers cultivate their own diverse fields of agave—planting from seed and reforesting the diminishing wild agave populations—and use exclusively organic farming practices with love and respect. Gonzalo launched Macurichos in 2012 in honor of his grandfather, with the brand label featuring an illustration of Rosalino returning home on horseback after a long day of work en el campo. In Gonzalo’s words, “When you drink Macurichos you are drinking years of our family’s history, work, and sacrifice.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skurnik","offers":[{"title":"750","offer_id":49834068640030,"sku":"12107571","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2505\/0654\/files\/macurichos_espadin___31727.webp?v=1757769601"},{"product_id":"mezcalosfera-espadin-con-mango-y-chile-habanero-cortes-mezcal","title":"Mezcalosfera Espadin Con Mango Y Chile Habanero Cortes Mezcal","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom Mihuatlan by Job Cortès, a 3rd generation maestro who specializes in distilling with added flavors.
