Quiquiriqui Pechuga Con Cacao Mezcal

Quiquiriqui Pechuga Con Cacao Mezcal is a distinctive, traditionally crafted spirit that elevates the art of mezcal production. Distilled in Oaxaca, Mexico, this unique expression is classified as a Pechuga, meaning it undergoes a third distillation where raw cacao is suspended in the still, infusing the spirit with its deep, complex character. Made from Espadín agave, this mezcal presents a fascinating duality. The nose and palate are rich with earthy dark chocolate and bitter cacao, beautifully complemented by the sweet, vegetal essence of cooked agave. Subtle notes of tobacco and fresh green vegetables add layers of complexity, culminating in a dry, smoky finish. It is bottled at 47% ABV, offering both intensity and balance. This mezcal is a superb choice for sipping neat to appreciate its depth, or for use in high-end, sophisticated cocktails.
