Pal'alma Aguacate
Avocado pechuga on Puebla espadilla – less novelty than people assume
Score: 4.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Pal'alma
- Maestro: Asunción Matilde Vargas
- Region: Puebla
- Agave: Espadilla
- ABV: 50%
- Price: $60 ($)
Verdict
Aguacate as a pechuga additive sounds like a tourist gimmick; Palalma demonstrates otherwise. The leaves and pit lend an herbal muscle that works with espadilla's already-green register, and the proof ceiling gives the bottle room to breathe. Consider it a sibling argument to the house's al pastor bottling, both are evidence Palalma treats pechuga as a technique rather than a stunt.
Palalma's pechugas refuse to be novelty. This one earns the scrutiny
Tasting notes
Nose: Green leaf. Then toasted seed, a savory-herbal top, cooked agave
Palate: 50-55% lets the espadilla carry real weight, with the aguacate reading as an herbal-savory layer rather than a fruit note. Palalma is present in the cut, clean, precise, unshowy
Finish: Herbaceous, warming
The bottom line
Buy when you want a pechuga that's not a poultry bottle
