Union Mezcal Ancestral Pechuga de Mole

Our Pechuga de Mole Ancestral is a true masterpiece, blending the richness of our Ancestral process with the complexity of the iconic Mole Poblano recipe. During a second distillation of our Espadín Unión, authentic mole ingredients—cacao, roasted chilies, and spices—are added, creating a mezcal that offers a sensory experience like no other. Rich aromas of dark chocolate, roasted spices, and smoky sweetness greet you on the nose, balanced by a subtle fruitiness. The palate is full-bodied and complex, revealing layers of cacao, warm spices, and a touch of chili heat. Creamy, buttery textures enhance the smooth, smoky finish. Perfect for sipping neat alongside dessert or as a bold base for elevated cocktails, this Pechuga mazcal is a true celebration of flavor and tradition.
