Bozal Mezcal Pechuga is a special mezcal made through a unique and labor-intensive process. The name "Pechuga" refers to the traditional practice of distilling the mezcal with a raw chicken breast (or turkey) hung in the still, infusing the spirit with rich and complex flavors.

The process begins with the roasting of agave in traditional earthen pits, followed by fermentation with wild yeasts. During the second distillation, the meat is added, along with fruits, nuts, and spices, imparting a distinctive aromatic and flavor profile to the mezcal.
