Mezcalosfera | Pechuga de Guajolote de Cenizo | 200ml

This exquisite Pechuga mezcal from Emilio Vieyra is crafted with semi-wild Agave cupreata, sourced from the terroir of Michoacán. This region is defined by its rivers, the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, and a diverse range of forests. The Vieyra Vinata is located on a hill in the highlands above Morelia, surrounded by temperate evergreen forest. The high-altitude climate features sandy soil and moderate rainfall, while the forest floor is covered in pine needles, moss, and red sandy clay, all of which contribute to the unique flavor of this mezcal. The agave plants are initially grown in the Vieyra agave nursery before being transplanted to the mountain slopes surrounding the vinata, where they are left to mature undisturbed. 
This pechuga is made with turkey breast hanging in the still in the last distillation.
