Dixeebe Pechuga is produced by Valentin Cortes in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca. The maguey Espadin (Agave angustifolia) used in this mezcal is Espadin Capon, having been left in the field to gain additional sweetness and sugars before harvest. They were cooked in an underground pit oven, milled by tahona, and double distilled in a copper still. Before the second, and final, distillation, a raw turkey breast was added to the still.
According to the Asis, Dixeebe is a ceremony of honor, respect, and love, the purest thanks to culture, their tradition, and their ancestors, a great veneration of liquid, a gift from the Gods to men, and an offering from men to the Gods.
Rich, aromatic, and deeply rooted in Oaxacan tradition, Dixeebe Pechuga Mezcal – Edition 4 is a limited-edition artisanal mezcal crafted in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. Bottled at 50.1% ABV (100.2 proof) in a 375ml bottle, this pechuga expression brings the distinctive roasted-agave character of traditional mezcal together with the savory, fruity, and aromatic complexity associated with a traditional pechuga distillation.
