Don Amado Arroqueo Mezcal 375mL

Don Amado Arroqueo Mezcal offers an exceptional expression of one of mezcal’s most prized agave varieties. Crafted in small batches by multi-generational mezcaleros, this limited edition spirit showcases the distinctive character of the rare Arroqueo agave, which takes 12-15 years to reach maturity in the rugged landscapes of Oaxaca.

Traditionally produced using copper pot distillation after pit-roasting and tahona stone milling, Don Amado Arroqueo balances reverence for ancestral techniques with masterful craftsmanship.

Each 375mL bottle represents the essence of artisanal mezcal production, capturing the spirit’s complexity in a more accessible size for the discerning enthusiast.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Opens with pronounced floral aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle, complemented by fresh herbal notes of sage and eucalyptus. Delicate wisps of citrus and tropical fruit emerge alongside subtle minerality.
• Palate: Rich and complex with an elegant entry that reveals layers of flavor. Roasted pineapple and green apple give way to earthy undertones of wet stone and clay. Hints of white pepper, cinnamon, and clove provide a gentle spice structure that balances the natural sweetness of the agave.
• Finish: Long and contemplative with a graceful transition from fruit to mineral. Soft smoke lingers pleasantly without overwhelming, leaving traces of vanilla bean, dried herbs, and a distinctive saline quality characteristic of the Arroqueo variety.

Perfect for sipping neat in a copita to appreciate its nuanced character and remarkable depth.
