Pechuga is mezcal's ceremonial style, a third distillation with fruit, nuts, spices, and traditionally a raw chicken or turkey breast hung in the still; when Chef Rubén García of ThinkFoodGroup visited Santa Catarina Minas with Del Maguey founder Ron Cooper, he suggested jamón Ibérico de Bellota — the legendary ham of acorn-fed, black-footed Spanish pigs — and months later shipped a leg to Oaxaca to begin testing. The result is made by Florencio Carlos Sarmiento and family in the ancestral heartland of Santa Catarina Minas: espadín, roasted in an earthen pit, crushed by hand, naturally fermented, distilled in clay pots over direct fire, and redistilled a third time with the ham, wild fruit, nuts, and spice, bottled at 49% ABV. Master of Malt calls it a showstopper — pechuga with the chicken replaced by jamón Ibérico, luxurious and wild. Del Maguey's notes: a spicy floral nose of carnation, gardenia, and jasmine with ripe pear, dark fig, wet green hay, and forest floor. Mezcal Reviews' tasters found milk chocolate, baked sweet potato, chipotle, cold-ash-smoked pineapple, bitter orange, a big hit of salt, dry clay, and dried smoked cherry — dense and dark, and much better with thirty minutes of air. Honest note: too rich for some blood to buy, as one put it — a collector's pechuga. In a copita, neat, with time and patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Del Maguey Wild Fruit Iberico Santa Catarina Minas Mezcal online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67288914297073,"sku":"erd1792718851428","price":163.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/4511\/3585\/files\/del-maguey-wild-fruit-iberico-santa-catarina-minas-mezcal_1.jpg?v=1792718858","url":"https:\/\/plissecladboutique.shop\/products\/del-maguey-wild-fruit-iberico-santa-catarina-minas-mezcal","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
