Sugarlands Shine Jerrod Henry’s agave de pechuga Spirit - "They call me the "Mexican Hillbilly" from Los Fresnos, Texas. Back in 1999, I made my first trip to Mexico. I lived there for three years and learned about the rich Mexican culture and history, including crafting agave-based spirits. Once traditional recipe that I discovered was agave de pechuga. This recipe starts with the finished smoky agave, nuts, fruits, spices and a special ingredient, raw poultry. During our distillation raw turkey is hung inside the still where the alcohol vapors infuse with the meat resulting in a fuller-bodied spirit. Learning this authentic recipe firsthand helped me appreciate distilling even more. Salud!
