Pelotón de la Muerte Pechuga is produced in the state of Guerrero by mezcalero Rodolfo Obregón. It is crafted using a field blend of wild Guerrero agaves: Maguey Criollo and Ancho (Agave angustifolia var. rubescens and Agave cupreata). The agaves are roasted and distilled together, creating a richly integrated base compared with single-variety mezcales. During the second distillation, aromatics are hung from the still, allowing their oils and essences to infuse the spirit in a slow, delicate extraction. The result is a pechuga that relies on botanicals rather than animal components for its fragrance and complexity. This Obregón family recipe is vegan, with no meat or animal products added at any stage. The production highlights Guerrero’s wild, rugged terroir and the traditional craft passed down within the family. The final mezcal presents a layered profile that balances herbaceous, vegetal, and citrusy notes with the savory, slightly resinous character typical of roasted agave. On the palate, you’ll encounter fresh green herbality intertwined with the natural sweetness of the agave, accompanied by subtle spice and a lingering, earthy finish. Pelotón de la Muerte Pechuga embodies a respectful nod to Mexico’s mezcal traditions while pushing the boundaries of flavor through careful, artisanal infusion. It is a distinctive expression for connoisseurs seeking a vegan pechuga with true Guerrero spirit.
