Mezcal Los Siete Misterios Pechuga (46%)

A triple-distilled mezcal from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, made from Agave Angustifolia Haw. At the third distillation, turkey breast, fresh fruit and herbs are added to the distillate, in a recipe composed by Doña Ángeles and Maestra Mezcalera Doña Sabina. The agave is roasted in an earthen oven with local wood and river stones, then distilled in a copper pot still. Production is limited to one batch per year. The nose shows savoury umami, ripe fruit, fresh herbs and light smoke. The palate brings turkey fat, tropical fruit, dry herbs and subtle agave sweetness. The finish is long and complex, with lingering herbs and a soft, savoury aftertaste.
