About Fidencio

According to reviewers, the Jiménez family has been producing mezcal for generations, shaping Fidencio into a label grounded in heritage, regional knowledge, and meticulous craft.
About Mezcal Pechuga
Mezcal Pechuga is a traditional style in which a finished mezcal is redistilled with seasonal fruits, spices, and a raw protein—often a chicken, turkey, or other local meat—hung inside the still. According to Mezcal Reviews, this process infuses the spirit with aromatic depth and a silky texture while retaining its underlying agave character. Because the protein and botanicals are added during a final distillation rather than after, Pechuga mezcals typically show gentle spice, soft fruit notes, and rounded minerality, making them some of the most ceremonial and labor-intensive expressions in mezcal production.
