About this destilado de agave
Aguerrido Cupreata Pechuga de Gallina from Refugio Calzada Hernandez is produced in Tetitlan de la Lima, Guerrero using Agave cupreata. Don Refugio cooks his agave in a pit oven, mills the cooked agave using a shredder, ferments the agaves with open air yeasts, and double distills in a copper alembic still. During the second and final distillation, Don Refugio added herbs and fruits to the still. A raw hen was also hung in the still for additional flavor. Batches will vary based on agave capon time frames and time aging in glass. Check your bottle for details.
