Mezcasiarca Astor Select Pechuga de Mole Mezcal - 2021

Many of Sandra’s finest mezcales are deeply personal productions (in fact this batch was so personal she insisted on keeping some bottles back in Oaxaca for herself). This batch is a perfect example. A truly phenomenal example of the tradition of producing “pechuga” mezcal by preparing the protein before adding it to the still, as though preparing a dish; here, Sandra prepared turkey breast using her mother’s heirloom mole recipe, which features nearly 30 unique ingredients and takes over a day to prepare. The results are stunning – rich and dense and with a generous texture, this is one of the most powerfully flavorful examples of mole pechuga we've ever tasted. Describing what tatsing this mezcal is like is nearly an impossible task. You will have no doubt you are tasting world class mezcal but there is something else to it that seems bigger. It is truly transcendent and will leave your head and spirit spinning with awe and wonder.
