Don Amado Mezcal Rustico Oaxaca 100% Agave (Clay pot distillation, American Oak) 47% 750ml

The flagship expression of the Real de Minas Distillery, Don Amado Rœstico is made using the historic method of slowly roasting fully-mature Espad’n maguey hearts on firewood embers, before natural fermentation with airborne yeast and a slow double-distillation in ceramic pot stills. \n \nThe 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 Espad’n maguey palate is well balanced against notes of caramel, butterscotch and fresh herbs. \n
