Fidencio Pechuga Mezcal Joven 750ml

Fidencio Pechuga is a triple-distilled joven mezcal from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, made from estate-grown agave espadín and bottled at batch proof, 47.8% ABV.

It starts with undiluted Fidencio Clásico, which goes back into the still for a third distillation with fresh fruit and a raw chicken breast hung inside.

The fruit changes from year to year, with apples, bananas, pineapple and guava among those used.

The third run softens the smoke, giving spice, cinnamon, earthy minerals, tropical fruit and sweet vanilla.

Fidencio is run by fourth-generation mezcalero Enrique Jiménez on the family estate in Santiago Matatlán, and its pechuga is a fruit-forward, approachable take on this celebratory style.
