XICARU PECHUGA MOLE MEZCAL Lot 1

It's THIRSTY THURSDAY!
Hey, thank you for joining us on this episode! We really appreciate the time you take to check out our videos.
On this episode, we are tasting a very special Mezcal. This is XICARU Pechuga Mole Mezcal Lot 1.
This Mezcal is made for special occasions. It is meant to be shared with family and friends. This unique union of a Pechuga Mezcal and Mole Negro will be a first for us. This should be a interesting journey.
From the brand's website:
"Inspiration
We celebrate the anniversary of Xicaru by combining two traditions: pechuga, a mezcal traditionally reserved for special occasions, and mole negro, the iconic Oaxacan sauce. We are proud of the exciting result: Xicaru Pechuga Mole Mezcal.
Production
Xicaru Pechuga Mole Mezcal is made by hand. The maguey is cooked in an underground stone oven, tahona-mashed, fermented in open-air pine vats, and distilled over a wood fire. Our mole negro is made from scratch over two days at our palenque, using molcajete-ground chilis, Oaxacan chocolate and other fresh ingredients. It is added to the still along with dressed chickens for the final distillation.
Tasting Notes
Introducing chicken and savory-sweet mole negro to the vegetal and smoky characteristics of traditional mezcal results in a remarkably multifaceted flavor and a rich mouthfeel. The finish is delightful, long and lasting.
The Jaguar Captures The Chicken!
We pay homage to ancient Zapotec culture with our use of the jaguar, a powerful symbol of agility and strength. The jaguar captures not only the chicken, but also the rich history and traditions found in Xicaru Pechuga Mole Mezcal."
Nice! How did we like it? Did Amigo Eric like it? Is there to much going on here to enjoy sipping on this?
Watch to find out the answers to these pressing questions!

La Luna from Michoacan does an excellent job with pechugas, including ponch navideno and mango/chile. Even with just fruits and herbs, it can be called pechuga.

Great point! We have some La Luna Mezcals coming up, and I can not wait to taste them. I will seek one of the fruits and herbs Pechuga and do a review of it and give you credit for pointing this out. It is always great to keep learning and understanding the fantastic spirit that is Mezcal. Then sharing this information with others. Thank you!
