Matatlán pechuga – the BEÚ entry pechuga

Score: 3.5/5 agaves

Producer: BEÚ Spirits
Maestro: Nelson García Sernas
Region: Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
Agave: Espadin
ABV: 46%
Price: $55 ($)

Verdict

A solid pechuga entry. Full Moon is BEÚ's Matatlán pechuga – the range's entry pechuga, without the higher-proof specialty treatment of the Blood Moon. At 46% the composition holds, the recipe is balanced, and Matatlán's regional profile gives the pechuga a slightly cleaner-than-Santo-Domingo base. No consensus; we score it 3.5. A respectable BEÚ pechuga for drinkers who want the format at mid-tier caliber.

A well-proportioned Matatlán pechuga
