Pierde Almas Mezcal
Diaz Brothers Estrella Negra Pechuga
Diaz Brothers Estrella Negra Pechuga is a mezcal classified as pechuga. Producer Carlos Mendez Blas distills this spirit in copper stills at his Santiago Matatlán facility. The base agave is Angustifolia, milled using a traditional tahona stone. This process occurs under the regulatory oversight of NOM-O20X in Oaxaca. The final bottle holds 46% alcohol by volume for a robust profile. Pechuga mezcal requires a secondary distillation with fruits and spices to complete its unique character. This label honors the specific regional traditions of the Oaxaca highlands through precise production methods.
