Pechotierra Ensamble Mezcal

Pechotierra Ensamble Mezcal is an artisanal Mexican agave spirit ("vino del norte") produced by maestro vinatero Jorge Luis Torres Casas in Laguna de Sánchez, Nuevo León. Crafted by blending local maguey varieties, this expression utilizes Pechotierra's distinctive traditional method of fermenting the agave using pure pulque rather than added water, resulting in a complex, savory, and uniquely herbaceous profile.

Food Pairing: Grilled meats, roasted pork carnitas, aged cheeses, dark chocolate, and savory Mexican dishes with mole or salsa verde.

Tasting Notes : Crystal clear in appearance, offering a full-bodied, rich, and viscous mouthfeel on the palate.

Nose : Roasted corn, green olives, fresh sugarcane, sea salt brine, and subtle vegetal herbs with a soft hint of smoke.

Palate : Complex and savory with sweet cooked agave, lactic pulque funk, green olive brine, roasted nuts, and earthy mesquite smoke.

Finish : Long, warm, and persistent with lingering brine, soft herbal dryness, and a subtle sweet agave warmth.

Serve : Best enjoyed neat at room temperature in a clay copita or wide-rimmed glass to appreciate its aromatic complexity.
