Banhez Mezcal Artesanal Destilado con Pechuga de Pavo 750 ml

Banhez Destilado con Pechuga de Pavo is a pechuga-style mezcal artesanal from the Banhez cooperative in the Ejutla and Miahuatlán valleys of Oaxaca. Pechuga is a traditional method where a raw turkey breast, along with local fruit, is suspended in the still during a third distillation, adding a subtle savory, fruity layer over the smoky agave base. Expect roasted agave and wood smoke on the nose, a rounder, faintly sweet and savory palate from the pechuga process, and a long, warming finish. It's a ceremonial style traditionally reserved for celebrations, and it rewards slow, attentive sipping.

How to drink Banhez Pechuga

Take it neat in a small copita — pechuga mezcals are made to be savored slowly, not mixed, so a cocktail would bury the fruit and turkey-broth character that makes this style distinct.
