About this mezcal
Don Amado Anejo is aged 18 months in barrels that formerly held Pedro Domecq Mexican Brandy. The aging gives it a unique golden straw color, and a complex palate. This is much more viscous and suave than the Reposado and the Rustico. There are still a lot of agave notes considering how long this is barrel aged. It’s a bit earthy with sweet caramel notes that mix with smoke. The ABV of this mezcal may vary by batch.
Don Amado Mezcal
Don Amado’s mezcaleros carefully handcraft all of their mezcals from 100% mature highland agave plants. After roasting the hearts of these premium agaves in wood-burning earthen pits, the plants’ treasured juices are distilled in traditional Oaxacan ceramic-and-bamboo pot stills. This unique distillation method gives Don Amado mezcals their distinctive smoky flavor and herbal bouquet, while proudly honoring a sixteenth-century production tradition native to the state of Oaxaca.

542 reviewsNose – Incredibly weak aromas. Almost undetectable but barrel notes are there (slight toffee really is all I get).
Palate – Great hit of dark dried fruit (black currants, raisins). Vanilla extract. Mandarin orange.
Disappointments aromas but great flavor.
