Del Maguey Pechuga Mezcal

Del Maguey Pechuga Mezcal is produced in the village of Santa Catarina with small clay stills of bamboo tubing. Pechuga is begun with Minero mezcal that has already been double distilled. In preparation for a third distillation they place about 100 liters of mezcal in the still and add about 100 kilos of wild mountain apples and plums, big red plantain bananas, pineapples, a handful of almonds and a few pounds of uncooked white rice. This process makes this mezcal one of the most rare of its kind.
