About this bottle

Don Amado Pechuga is crafted from espadín agave, undergoing a double distillation in a clay pot still. It is then enhanced with various fruits, spices, and nuts before a third distillation. The term 'Pechuga,' meaning 'breast,' suggests the incorporation of cherished ingredients, symbolizing local flavors distilled to honor a season or festivity. The Don Amado family tradition, passed down through generations, excludes animal fats from their Pechuga production.

Fantastic value! This is one of the more affordable pechuga mezcals, yet it effectively delivers the flavor profile of a top-tier pechuga mezcal. It's robust and sweet, with no smokiness at all.
