Quiquiriqui Destilado Con Mole 700ml

Mezcal de Pechuga, which translates to 'breast' in Spanish, is created by distilling a finished Mezcal with local fruits, grains, nuts, and a raw protein, typically a chicken, hung over the still to cook in the vapors. This style of Mezcal is traditionally produced for special occasions and consumed locally, resulting in numerous variations across distilleries.

In the case of QQRQ's version, they use a homemade mole paste instead of poultry. The mole paste is prepared according to a traditional recipe by the Méndez family and includes guajillo and ancho chilies, sesame seeds, almonds, peanuts, garlic, onion, raisins, bananas, and cacao. Crafted by Carlos Méndez at his palenque in Santiago Matatlán, this Pechuga Mezcal is based on the QQRQ Espadín agave. After the second distillation, the mole paste is added, and the spirit is left to infuse for two weeks before undergoing a final, third distillation. This exceptional recipe, which can be enjoyed by vegetarians, is believed to be the first of its kind to be commercially released.
