Intro:
Distilled by Deflino Tobon Mejia for Cinco Sentidos as part of the La Coleccion Mixteca, this Pechuga takes a distilled wild papalote batch and conbines chicken, and many fruits - notable anise and cinnamon.
-
Nose:
Minty, chive, onion, sour cream. Creamy and rich, ultimately savory on the nose.
-
Taste:
Minty and interesting. There’s a richness here but the spice, mint and salinity lands weird for me. It’s hard not to equate this in similarity to mouthwash or something strange. Wintergreen candies?
-
Finish:
Long finish, minty once more with loads of anise. Wild and interesting, and this is even more anise forward than something I thought was the pinnacle of Anise - Banhez’s pechua. Whew!
-
Overall:
This is wild, but too anise heavy to really make me fall head over magueys here.
