Real Minero Agave Pechuga is a unique and artisanal mezcal produced by the Real Minero distillery, located in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca, Mexico. This spirit is crafted using traditional methods, where the agave hearts are roasted in earthen pits, crushed by a stone tahona, and then distilled in clay pot stills. The Pechuga variant is particularly special as it involves a third distillation with the addition of fruits, nuts, and a raw chicken breast, which is suspended in the still to impart a rich and complex flavor profile. The result is a mezcal with a harmonious blend of smoky, fruity, and savory notes, offering a truly distinctive tasting experience. With an ABV typically around 49%, this mezcal is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of Oaxacan mezcaleros.
