Fidencio Pechuga

A mid-priced pechuga that gives up no ground to the premium tier

Score: 3.5/5 agaves

Fidencio Pechuga bottle

  • Region: Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca

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
