Agua Santa Destilado Con Pechuga Joven Mezcal

Mezcal Agua Santa Destilado con Pechuga is a celebration mezcal from Agua Santa, an artisanal brand handcrafted in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. Pechuga means breast: the producer gives its classic Espadín mezcal a third distillation, passing the vapour through a carefully chosen blend of turkey breast and spices. In Mexico pechuga is traditionally poured at birthdays, baptisms, weddings and funerals. The base mezcal comes from agaves roasted for five to seven days in stone ovens fired with oak and pine, crushed by a horse-drawn tahona, fermented in open air in wooden vats with no added sugar, yeast or additives, then distilled in copper pots. Like the rest of the range it is not aged. Bottled at 46% ABV, 750ml.

Serve: Neat in a copita for a special occasion.
