5 Sentidos Pechuga de Mole Mezcal is a unique and artisanal spirit from Oaxaca, crafted using the traditional "pechuga" method, where mezcal is distilled with seasonal fruits, herbs, and a whole chicken breast.

The mezcal carries smoky agave notes, combined with the bold flavors of mole, fruits, and earthy spices. Available at Whiskey Caviar, this mezcal is perfect for sipping or using in inventive cocktails.
