Don Amado Mezcal Rústico | 47% abv
70cl | 47% abv
Don Amado Mezcal Rústico - The flagship expression of the Real de Minas Distillery, Don Amado Rústico is made using the historic method of slowly roasting fully-mature Espadín maguey hearts on firewood embers, before natural fermentation with airborne yeast and a slow double-distillation in ceramic pot stills.
The minero clay-pot still is quite prevalent on the nose with aromatics leaning towards ash, crushed walnuts, roasted corn, and savory spices. A bright, citrus Espadín maguey palate is well balanced against notes of caramel, butterscotch and fresh herbs.
Aroma: Crushed walnuts, roasted corn, savory spices, ash
Palate: Bright, citrus, caramel, butterscotch, fresh herbs
Finish: Smooth
