Only 35 cases were produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal Vago works with individual mezcaleros and names each on the label. The sons of Aquilino García carry on their father's craft in Candelaria Yegolé, and for this pechuga, a chicken breast is suspended in the still during the second distillation along with fruits, almonds and tejocotes, a celebratory tradition that adds savoury depth and rounds the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose brings clay soil, agave, citrus peel and roasted poblano, with chocolate, cardamom, raisins, guava and banana. The palate offers stone fruit, salinity and umami with a hint of habanero, table spices and fruit punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tall bottle wears Vago's black Pechuga label printed with the producer and batch details. It is a prized bottle for mezcal collectors and a remarkable gift for a special occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly from a copita; its savoury, fruity complexity unfolds over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clay, agave, citrus peel, roasted poblano, chocolate and cardamom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stone fruit, salinity, umami and a hint of habanero.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and savoury.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal Vago (Hijos de Aquilino García)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal, Pechuga\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pechuga, 35 cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102.6 proof (51.3% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Espadín; chicken breast, fruits, almonds and tejocotes in the second distillation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Candelaria Yegolé, Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it from a copita at room temperature, ideally for a celebration.
