5 Sentidos Pechuga de Mole Poblano (75cl, 49.3%)

A pechuga-style mezcal from maestro mezcalero Delfino Tobón Mejía in San Pablo Ameyaltepec, Puebla. It is made from wild-harvested Papalome agave, roasted in an underground earthen oven and fermented naturally. For the second distillation, raw chicken breast and mole poblano are suspended in the still so the rising vapour passes through them. The result is savory-sweet and polished, with oatmeal, cedar, chamomile and lemonade on the nose, a creamy palate of sweet chocolate, nuts, matcha and cinnamon spice, and a clean, gently peppery finish.
