5 Sentidos Pechuga de Mole Poblano Mezcal 200ml

5 Sentidos Pechuga de Mole Poblano Mezcal 49.3% – 200ml 

Process & Craftsmanship

Produced in Puebla by maestro mezcalero Delfino Tobón Mejía, this expression begins with mature Espadín agave that is roasted in underground earthen ovens, crushed, and naturally fermented. It is then distilled in a traditional hybrid still made of clay and copper.

For the final distillation, raw chicken and rich mole poblano—made from ingredients like chiles, chocolate, nuts, and spices—are added to the still. As the vapor rises, it passes through the suspended ingredients, infusing the spirit with remarkable depth, texture, and umami complexity.

Appearance

Crystal clear and luminous, with a bright, clean body that belies its rich and complex flavor profile.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Deep and aromatic, with notes of roasted agave, warm spices, cocoa, and subtle savory undertones. Hints of nuts, dried fruit, and light smoke round out the bouquet.

Palate: Full-bodied and layered, showcasing flavors of chocolate, toasted nuts, gentle spice, and a distinct savory richness from the pechuga process. The agave remains present, complemented by a silky, almost creamy mouthfeel.

Finish: Long, evolving, and slightly savory, with lingering notes of spice, cocoa, and earthy agave sweetness.

What Makes It Special

This expression stands out for its use of traditional pechuga techniques combined with mole poblano—one of Mexico’s most complex and iconic culinary creations. Produced in extremely small batches, sometimes fewer than a few hundred bottles, it represents a true fusion of gastronomy and mezcal heritage.

Enthusiasts often describe it as one of the most distinctive and memorable mezcal experiences available, with pronounced umami and evolving flavors in every pour.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a copita or small glass. Sip slowly to explore its evolving layers. Allow it to rest before drinking to open up its aromatics—this is a contemplative spirit meant for savoring rather than mixing.
