Verdict
Pechuga traditions include chicken, turkey, venison, rabbit – all terrestrial. Lobster is a coastal innovation, and at ~73% ABV this Rambha release lands in puntas territory rather than standard-pechuga territory. The shellfish contribution is subtle; the proof is not. Track it alongside Real Minero's stranger pechuga experiments. A serious specialty bottle.
Lobster pechuga at 73% is the category daring you to think it's a gimmick
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked agave, then subtle shellfish sweetness, mesquite smoke, marine mineral
Palate: Enormous but composed. 73% ABV puts this near puntas territory – the first cut of the distillation, typically used to blend back into the main run. Lobster as pechuga protein is a coastal riff on the traditional Oaxacan method. The sea shows up in the finish
Finish: Warm, savory, marine – very long
The bottom line
Track it down. Genuinely unusual, genuinely good
