Description

Alberto Morales may be a true master of the vegan “pechuga,” but his first traditional fowl-distilled mezcal is nothing short of a revelation. For this celebratory bottling, Maestro Beto suspends a wild turkey breast in the still during the second distillation, but balances its meaty, oily characteristics by adding tangerine, banana, and cantaloupe directly into the espad a­n base mezcal. The result? Notes of ripe citrus, roast agave, plantain, and anise lead into a delicately unctuous flavor with hints of pepper, melon, and fennel and a delightfully warm finish. You won’t find a mezcal more round, nuanced, and complex as this one. Limited to 210 bottles.
