Del Maguey Pechuga Mezcal

Del Maguey Pechuga Mezcal

One of Del Maguey's most extraordinary mezcals, Pechuga is made from Espadín in Santa Catarina Minas and undergoes a remarkable third distillation with wild mountain fruit, almonds and a chicken breast. Distilled in ancestral clay stills, it is smoky, complex and deeply distinctive — a celebratory mezcal unlike almost anything else.

About Del Maguey

Oaxaca, Mexico Mexico Founded 1995

Del Maguey is a pioneering Single Village mezcal producer founded by artist Ron Cooper in 1995. Rather than operating as a single distillery, Del Maguey works with Zapotec and Mixtec producer families in villages across Oaxaca and Puebla, with individual expressions reflecting the people, agaves and places behind them.

Traditional production and a strong sense of place sit at the heart of Del Maguey. Different villages, producer families, agave varieties and methods give each mezcal its own character, from the approachable Espadín-based Vida to tiny-production expressions made from wild agaves and special releases such as Pechuga.
