87 reviewsCool to see this bottle up here! I sampled this at the 5S tasting room in Oaxaca and really loved it but it’s extremely difficult to track down and I don’t personally love pechugas enough to drop $150+ on them. But this one I think I would. It literally tastes like mole negro and it’s such a fun one to drink. That’s the nose, that’s the flavor profile: mole negro lol. The mole poblano pechuga was a bit too banana forward for me but this one was really a perfect balance.

26 reviewsPMNLE 01-23. 65/292, 50.2% ABV.
Aroma – Vegetal, Chicken Bullion, some sweetness like a fresh Banana, Ancho Chiles.
Palate – Chicken upfront, a little brine, some cilantro, slightly sweet. The finish is a little hot, but still pleasant. Compared to Mole Poblano, I like Poblano a little more. This bottle is worth a try if you have some extra mezcal money lying around.
