Real Minero "Pechuga" Agave Spirit

The Sacred Feast: A Culinary & Ceremonial Journey from Oaxaca

Embark on a profound sensory adventure with Real Minero "Pechuga" Agave Spirit, an enticing 750ml bottling imported from the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico. Crafted by the revered Ángeles Carreño family in Santa Catarina Minas, this extraordinary Destilado con Pechuga embodies the rich tradition of distilling world-class agave spirits. Uniquely crafted from a harmonious blend of Espadín, Largo, Barril, and Tripón agaves, this spirit is imbued with a diverse array of flavors and aromas that tantalize the senses.

Real Minero, committed to ancestral practices, designates their exquisite creations as Agave Spirits, honoring a heritage that predates and operates independently of the official Mezcal denomination. This "Pechuga" undergoes a meticulous and intriguing three-fold distillation process. During the final pass, a surprising addition of fresh fruits and a raw chicken or turkey breast is suspended within the clay pot still, imparting an unexpected depth and complexity. This unusual technique results in a product that mirrors the intricate diversity of its ingredients, reflecting the heart and soul of Mexican culture and the family's deep connection to their traditions.

Tasting Notes

Real Minero Pechuga is a truly unique sensory adventure—a dialogue between tradition and innovation—offering a robust and multifaceted profile that is both savory and intriguing.

  • Aroma: Inviting and wonderfully unique. The scent is akin to an inviting, rich chicken soup, immediately whetting your appetite and stirring a sense of hearty, comforting meals. This savory aroma piques your interest and curiosity, setting the stage for the subsequent tasting experience, underscored by subtle notes of cooked agave and fruit.
  • Palate: Robust, rounded, and remarkably complex. Once you take a sip, you are welcomed by a rich tapestry of flavors, starting with refreshing notes of bell pepper. This unexpected twist lends a unique, slightly vegetal undertone to the spirit, subtly complementing the agave's inherent smokiness. The taste is a true journey of discovery: savory, decadent, and occasionally gamey or wild, it intrigues and teases your taste buds.
  • Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and unctuous, with a velvety texture that coats the palate, offering a profound and evolving mouthfeel.
  • Finish: Long, contemplative, and memorable. Each sip tells a new story, unveiling another layer of its multifaceted profile, concluding with a harmonious blend of savory richness, subtle smoke, and a lingering, clean warmth.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?

Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.

Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.

One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.

Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.

In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
