Fidencio Pechuga
A mid-priced pechuga that gives up no ground to the premium tier
Score: 3.5/5 agaves

- Agave: Espadin
- ABV: 45%
- Price: $70 ($)
Verdict
Fidencio's pechuga is the value-tier bottle in a famously expensive category, and it doesn't punch down in quality to hit the price. This is the pechuga we'd recommend to someone who wants to understand the form without the tariff.
Proof that a good pechuga doesn't need to cost $150
Tasting notes
Nose: Baked apple, almond, holiday spice, warm smoke
Palate: Textured, savory, well-integrated, you can tell the same producer made the Clásico
Finish: Warming, layered, long
