Peloton De La Muerte Pechuga 750ml

Peloton De La Muerte Pechuga is a pechuga-style mezcal from Peloton de la Muerte, an Oaxaca-based mezcal producer, made using the traditional pechuga process where a raw turkey or chicken breast is suspended inside the still during the final distillation run. The meat contributes savory, slightly gamey notes to the finished spirit without imparting fat, since only the vapor passes through it, a technique historically reserved for special occasions and celebrations in mezcal-producing communities. Expect the underlying smoky, earthy mezcal character from traditional agave roasting, layered with the pechuga process's distinctive savory depth that sets it apart from a standard joven.

How to drink Peloton de la Muerte Pechuga

Sip it neat in a small clay copita to properly take in the pechuga's savory complexity — this style is meant to be sipped slowly and discussed, not shot. It's traditionally poured for celebrations, so treat it as an occasion bottle rather than an everyday pour.
