Description
Fidencio Pechuga is made with undiluted Fidencio Clásico, which is put back in the still for a third distillation. Along with the mezcal, the mezcalero adds a traditional mixture of fruit: apples, bananas, pineapple, and guava. A whole chicken breast is skinned and washed to remove all fat, and it is hung from the cap of the still so that all of the vapors must pass over the raw chicken. The breast is said to soften the intensity and round out the flavor of the mezcal.
