Siete Misterios Mezcal Pechuga

With seven different Mezcals under our belt, we wanted to pay homage to the Mezcaleros and their families. We are eternally grateful for everyone who shared their experiences and lessons passed down over generations. Our Pechuga Mezcal celebrates the friendship among Mexicans and our combined effort to rescue our Mexican traditions.

Our Pechuga is a celebration Mezcal distilled a third time with turkey breast, fruit, and spices. These additions are chosen by Eduardo and Julio’s mother Doña Ángeles and Maestra Mezcalera Doña Sabina. With only one production a year, each with a unique recipe, this Mezcal is truly special.

Siete Misterios Pechuga is a rare release, and does not come from the Sola de Vega region like most of their other mezcal. This mezcal is made in small batches in Santiago Matatlan. It is hand-milled, and triple-distilled in a copper still. Before the third distillation, fruit and spices are added to the blend. A raw chicken breast is also suspended in the still and all of the vapor passes over the chicken before it is transferred into the final holding vessel. They produce less than 500 litres of this per year, so make sure to try it if you see it.

About Siete Misterios

Siete Misterios was founded in 2010 by brothers Julio and Eduardo Mestre with the intent of keeping traditional mezcal production at the forefront of the mezcal industry. The company sources a wide range of mezcals that all highlight a single agave varietal. They are backed by those who are deeply saddened by the industrialization seen in most tequila and some low-grade mezcal, and they’re doing everything in their power to keep the art of the mezcalero alive. The mezcaleros making their bottles change batch to batch, so one batch’s bottles may taste entirely different from the next batch’s bottles. This gives Siete Misterios a lot of variety in it’s bottling as each batch is made by a different person, with agave grown in a slightly different micro-climate, and the mezcal may hold a slightly different ABV. Make sure to check your bottle for these details.
