Estancia Raicilla Pechuga 750ml

Estancia Raicilla Pechuga

A Limited & Celebratory Spirit

Introducing a truly unique and groundbreaking spirit: the first commercially available Raicilla Pechuga in the USA, a limited seasonal release from Estancia Distillery. Crafted meticulously by Maestro Raicillero Alfredo Salvatierra, this exceptional raicilla elevates tradition with an intriguing infusion process.

The journey begins with 100% Maximiliana agave, roasted in an adobe oven to impart a signature smoky depth. The fermented agave is then double-distilled in traditional copper pot stills, capturing the essence of the spirit. What sets this raicilla apart is its third distillation, a “pechuga” process where a diverse array of locally harvested ingredients toasted pumpkin seed, quince, apple, plum, lemon leaves, toasted almonds, chamomile, hibiscus, and orange blossom along with a raw turkey breast, are suspended in the still. This aromatic infusion imbues the spirit with a symphony of nuanced flavors.

At a robust 48% ABV, Estancia Raicilla Pechuga offers a bold and unforgettable tasting experience.

Tasting Notes:

Prepare for a captivating and layered profile:

• Initial Impressions: Subtle smoky undertones from the adobe oven mingle with bright floral notes of hibiscus and orange blossom, underscored by a hint of herbal complexity from the lemon leaves and chamomile.
• Palate: The palate unfolds with a unique savory depth, where the richness of toasted pumpkin seed and almonds intertwines with the sweet and slightly tart notes of quince, apple, and plum. A delicate savory whisper from the pechuga adds an intriguing dimension.
• Finish: The finish is long and complex, with lingering notes of toasted nuts, a touch of fruit sweetness, and a subtle earthy undertone that speaks to the artisanal production.

This limited-release Estancia Raicilla Pechuga is a testament to innovation and tradition, offering a rare and exquisite taste of Jalisco’s spirited artistry. It is a must-try for adventurous palates and connoisseurs seeking a truly exceptional and celebratory spirit.
