QuiQuiriqui - Mezcal Mole Pechuga
We tasted through the range in our Seven Dials shop with Melanie Symonds who created QuiQuiRiQui in 2011, partnering directly with families who have been producing traditional mezcal in their communities for generations. We have been big fans of this mezcal since we opened in 2015 and so it was a great afternoon - chatting to Melanie and getting the lowdown on the rather wonderful business that is Mezcal.
The name “Qui-Qui-Ri-Qui” (pronounced Kee-Kee-Ree-Kee) comes from the sound a rooster makes.
QuiQuiriQui Mole Pechuga is mixed with the Mendez family homemade black mole paste which is left to macerate for 2 weeks. Its then distilled a third time to produce a complex Mezcal known locally as Pechuga style and traditionally made in small batches with seasonal ingredients and drunk at celebrations.
