Sacapalabras Pechuga
Pechuga at 50%. The proof pechuga wants
Score: 4.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Sacapalabras Mezcal
- Maestro: Eduardo "Lalo" Angeles
- Region: Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca
- Agave: Espadin
- ABV: 50%
- Price: $70 ($)
Verdict
Lalo Ángeles distilling pechuga at 50% is the category's adult version of the form – the fruit and protein charges read as kitchen rather than perfume, and the espadín base survives. Sabelotodo's pechuga at full proof sits in the same conversation. No consensus; our read 4.0.
Pechuga without proof is a costume party
Tasting notes
Nose: Dried fruit, then faint poultry, a warm cinnamon, cooked agave underneath
Palate: 50% gives pechuga's meat-and-fruit charge a foundation that doesn't flinch. Layered, long, legible in the kitchen sense
Finish: Warm, spice-forward – long
The bottom line
Buy if you've decided pechuga is your format
