How is Pechuga Mezcal made?
"Artisanal agave spirits have burst onto the market over the past few years, but beyond single-barrel, vintage-dated tequilas and mezcals, there’s another agave-based spirit gaining cult momentum: pechuga. Stemming from an age-old tradition among mezcal producers throughout Mexico, pechuga varies from distillery to distillery and is typically only produced in tiny amounts for personal consumption. Crafted from closely guarded family recipes, it is made by redistilling a finished mezcal with a mix of wild, seasonal fruits, often grains and always a raw, skinless chicken breast—vegetarians, look the other way now.
As bizarre as it sounds, the results are astoundingly delicious. As the chicken breast is suspended by its ribcage over the percolating distillation, the steam cooks through the chicken within minutes. Common belief holds that the chicken’s fat and proteins help soften the blow of the smoky mezcal. The addition of a selection of wild fruit helps, too."
