The Story of In Situ Pechuga

Pechuga is traditionally made for funerals, weddings and celebrations. This batch was distilled in 2020 at the start of the pandemic as a wedding gift for two of Sandra’s dear friends, nicknamed “Pechuga del Amor”. Its flavors were inspired by roses Sandra saw in a Moroccan market, which recalled her grandmother’s garden in Castilla. When the wedding plans changed, it became one of the first releases of her new label. The agave is cooked in an earthen oven, milled with wooden mallets, fermented in open-air oak vats and distilled twice in Filipino-style clay pot stills at still strength.
