About this bottle

Pierde Almas creates their Pechuga every November by taking their Espadín mezcal to the next level with a third distillation. The most notable step is hanging a turkey breast in the still, a variation on the traditional chicken breast. Before the third distillation, the mezcal is infused with a variety of wild fruits, herbs and nuts, such as apples, pineapples, almonds, pecans, citrus blossoms and anise.

Pierde Almas Pechuga 2013 is an intense Agave Spirit released once a year by the artisan Mezcal producers, Pierde Almas NOM-O120X. Their Pechuga is crafted from Espadin agave, which is triple distilled. However, before the third distillation, the Mezcal is blended with a selection of locally grown fruits, herbs & nuts. Next, a whole turkey breast is suspended in the bell of the still for a further depth of flavor that enhances the smoky qualities of the Mezcal. April 2017

Lote: 10-P 2017 Nose: dried fruits, light anise, nutty aroma Taste: meaty, leather like, savory, anise!! What a treat! It’s silky feeling in my mouth with a bite due to the 49%. I can’t believe how delicious this is.

Alex Pocock 5.0

Complex fruit and nuts apple and cashew give way to a well integrated smoke and savoury flavour. Beautiful texture as well.
