Paquera Ancestral Espadin with Wagyu is a pechuga-style mezcal that was produced with a cut of Tajima Wagyu from Twin Bridges, Montana.
About this mezcal
Paquera Ancestral Espadin with Wagyu was produced by mezcalero Valentin Orozco Lopez in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca. The maguey Espadin was harvested after roughly seven years. It was then cooked in an underground pit oven, milled by tahona, and double distilled in a clay pot still. Similar to a Oaxacan pechuga, during the second distillation, the mezcalero used a cut of Yellowstone Tajima Wagyu from the Arrington Ranch in Twin Bridges, Montana. The piece of wagyu was wrapped in twine and suspended in the clay pot still for the second distillation.

738 reviewsLot PANW7001. This is a unique flavor and experience. I recall that the guys from Las Almas Rotas made a Texas brisket pechuga a few years ago, and that’s really the only thing that I’ve tasted that is anywhere close to this. And even that was quite different. This has aromas of freshly grilled steak, limes, lavender, carnations, and that general smell that all barber shops have. The longer it sits in the glass, the more floral and fragrant it becomes. The palate is MEATY!! This tastes like a marbled Wagyu steak. The palate has some additional floral notes like rose water and coconut. The mouthfeel is thick and fatty. I don’t think I’ve ever tasted anything quite like this.
