A treasure of complexity that exhibits rich, bright fruit notes, roasted nuts, dark baking spice, wafting hints of clean smoke, fresh cinnamon and stone fruits. Mature agave flavors are woven throughout and yet never overwhelm, maintaining symmetry, balance and depth, on through to a delicate finish of broad, exotic flavors and lingering tropical nuance in this uncommonly vegan pechuga.
Its aromas and tastes are very familiar Mexican flavors: roasted corn slathered in butter, hints of vanilla and cinnamon, tropical fruit like dragonfruit, and dried chilies with a moderate amount of smoke. The flavors of barrel-aging contribute spicier and more vanilla-driven notes.
Don Amado Arroqueno is made with agave Arroqueno that is distilled in ceramic and bamboo pot stills. The aromas of this mezcal are of spice, pepper, and chili. It’s well balanced with a good deal of smokey and earthy flavor. At 46% ABV, this mezcal is very smooth and easy to drink.
