Crafted in the remote highlands of Oaxaca, Tosba Mezcal Pechuga is a rare and traditional expression that honors one of mezcal’s most time-honored rituals. Produced by distilling Tosba Espadín mezcal a third time with local fruits, spices, and a raw chicken breast suspended in the still (a symbolic and functional technique that softens the spirit), this mezcal is a true celebration bottle. Every batch is made in tiny quantities, preserving the artisanal heritage and distinctive flavor profile that make it one of the most unique spirits in Mexico. Available now at Whiskey Caviar.
