The Rising (Pechuga)

$189.00 Sold out

Our Founder’s Reserve Collection debut release, THE RISING, is a traditional Pechuga distilled from our award-winning Espadín, distilled with an abundance of season fruits and nuts, as well as a ‘pechuga de guajalote’ (wild turkey breast) in the second distillation.

The result is a velvety, aromatic mezcal with layers of spice, citrus, and roasted depth.

A true expression of heritage and craftsmanship, THE RISING is meant to be savored—sip slowly, toast meaningfully, and celebrate the extraordinary.
Key Highlights:
  • 100% Artisanal Process: Conical pit oven, tahona mill, natural fermentation, distilled to proof
  • Double Distilled: Wood-fired in 250L copper pot stills
  • Second Distillation: ‘Pechuga de guajalote’ (wild turkey breast)
Agave:

8-10 yr old Agave Angustifolia with a few piñas of secret agave

Tasting Notes

Aroma

Soft orchard fruits and dried stone fruit (peach, apricot), interwoven with toasted nuts and a whisper of honeyed agave. Underlying it all, a subtle velvet smoke and mineral earthiness give it depth and lift.

Taste

Luxuriously round, with a warm nutty core (almond, hazelnut) and succulent fresh fruit (pear, melon, citrus) layered over the classic agave backbone. A gentle umami richness underscores the profile, offering savory balance and depth without any overt poultry note.

Finish

A lingering, elegant fade of dried fruit compote, roasted nuts, and a touch of warm spice (cinnamon, cardamom). The umami thread endures to the last sip, leaving a soft, resonant echo of rich agave complexity.

Production Method

Artisanal Process

Cooked in conical earth oven, Tahona milled, naturally fermented and double distilled in wood-fired 250L copper pot stills.

Using our award-winning 100% Maguey Espadin, we add seasonal fruits (fresh and dried), nuts and then suspend the pechuga inside the still for the 2nd distillation to create this Extremely Rare mezcal.
