Pierde Almas Mezcal
Don Lorenzo Pechuga
Don Lorenzo Pechuga is a mezcal classified as pechuga. Alvaro and Armando Hernandez Lorenzo produce this spirit in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. They mill Agave Angustifolia using a tahona and distill it in copper stills. This pechuga style involves an additional distillation with local ingredients and spices. The producers traditionally feature a raw poultry breast in the still for this category. This method creates small seasonal batches historically reserved for celebrations. The result is a distinct expression of regional tradition and craft.
