El Destilado was born out of our time spent travelling in Latin America and a shared desire to curate a collection of spirits that express the terroir of the unique places and producers we encountered. Working directly with small, independent producers, El Destilado presents a diverse range of spirits that express the distinctive space, history, time and environment in which they are created. Produced naturally and on a small scale, with current range batches ranging from 70 to 420 bottles, El Destilado captures the ephemeral and unique nature of each spirit, offering an ever-evolving collection of limited edition distillates.
Pierna de Borrego is a unique mezcal, similar in style to Pechuga where the spirit is redistilled with a chicken breast hung up in the still, along with a selection of fruits and spices, this one differs in that the chicken has been replaced with a leg of lamb. Fruity and floral aromas on the nose with notes of coriander and jasmine on the palate.
