El Jolgorio Pechuga Mezcal Joven

El Jolgorio Pechuga Mezcal Joven is produced from mezcaleros Valentín Cortes and Gregorio Martinez Jarquin in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. The Espadin agave is harvested at ten years of age, pit-roasted, crushed, fermented in the open and double distilled. The distillation process is quite unique, they use different fruits and add the breast of a turkey rooster into the still. The turkey breast doesn’t impact the mezcal as one would think, it just adds some complexity to the mezcal formula.
