Description

Espadín mezcal is the starting point for Montelobos Pechuga. The producer distills it with kosher turkey breast, seasonal fruits and spices. This process brings fruit and savory ingredients into the making of a joven mezcal, drawing on traditional practices. Each of those ingredients has a role in the resulting flavor.

Smoke meets apple, pear and tropical fruit on the nose. Cinnamon and clove add quieter spice notes. On the palate, smoke is joined by savory umami from the turkey breast. Fruit sweetness recalls preserves, while the spices bring warmth. Earthy agave remains underneath, connecting the fruit, savory notes and smoke. The liquid is clear in the glass.

Pour neat into a copita or traditional mezcal glass. Allow a little time in the glass, then sip slowly.
