Mezcal Pierde Almas Pechuga
Pierde Almas Pechuga is created in the traditional, underground way, however, while the pina is baking, turkey breast is added to the pit-oven, giving the Pechuga a very unique flavour.
Once baked, the pina is then crushed and placed in a large vat or barrel; water and yeast are added, and it is left to ferment.
In the still, the wash is blended with an assortment of wild fruits, herbs and nuts such as apples, pineapples, almonds, pecans, citric blossoms and anise. As the alcohol is boiled off, it condenses into a crystal clear liquid that has an amazingly smooth taste. This unique process results in an incredibly complex spirit that offers layered flavors of fruit and herbs, while still retaining the original character of the smoky agave.
Tasting: Crystal clear. A wonderfully aromatic and complex nose with almond, pecan pie, aniseed, and marzipan. Delicate smoke, fruity spice with mellowing sweet almond. It's big, and yet strangely tame. Salty smoke lingers on the palate. Not for tender palates but discerning drinkers will rejoice. 5+/5
