CATEGORY TEQUILA Product Sub-Category Mezcal Manufacturer Pernod Ricard Short Description Pechuga is a rare mezcal limited to year-end production due to the special ingredients: wild mountain apples and plums that must be in season, balanced by a chicken breast hung inside of the clay still. Long Description Del Maguey Pechuga mezcal begins with Minero mezcal that has already been double distilled. In preparation for a third distillation, they place about 100 liters of mezcal in the still and add about 100 kilos of wild mountain apples and plums, big red plantain bananas, pineapples, a handful of almonds, and a few pounds of uncooked white rice. Next, a whole chicken breast is suspended by strings in the atmosphere of the still and a 24-hour, third distillation is begun. The vapor passes over the pechuga and condenses into a crystal-clear liquid that has an amazing taste and smoothness. The reason for the breast, they say, is so the mezcal is not dominated by the fruit... a balance. Upon completion, the pechuga is removed from the still and hung in the family altar room, the most important space in the house. Pechuga has a nose of basil, lemon, ocean, and fruit. It is almost scotch-like in its smoky taste. And yes, in addition, it is salty, very soft, and tastes a wee bit like chicken.
