El Jolgorio Pechuga is made using two distillations. During the second distillation, the mezcalero adds locally harvested fruit and spices, like pineapple, orange, and plantains. Also during the second distillation, the mezcalero hangs a raw turkey breast on the inside of the pot still in such a way that all of the vapor must pass over the meat before it becomes liquid Mezcal. Unlike the other El Jolgorio bottles, Pechuga is not named for the species/variety of agave it is made from but for this special way of making Espadín Mezcal.
"The palate you are initially greeted with a fantastic burst of fruitiness. Flavors of guava, unripe banana, and blueberry come through. Eventually, savory notes of grilled chicken skin and discreet herbal hints emerge. "
