Fidencio Pechuga

Fidencio Pechuga is made with undiluted Fidencio Clásico, which is put back in the still for a third distillation and bottled, undiluted at 45%. Along with the Mezcal, the mezcalero adds a traditional mixture of fruit: apples, bananas, pineapple and guava. A whole chicken breast is skinned and washed to remove all fat, and it is hung from the cap of the still so that all of the vapors must pass over the raw chicken. The breast is said to soften the intensity and round out the flavor of the Mezcal. Pechuga is produced over a short time at the end of the summer. The fruit will have different expressions from year to year.
