Don Amado Mezcal Pechuga *Vegan* 92PF / 375ML / 750ML
Don Amado Pechuga is not a traditional Pechuga as no meat is used in the production. Instead, this vegan Pechuga is made with a variety of fruit and spices. An autumn ‘harvest bounty’ mezcal, Don Amado Pechuga is a third distillation of our Don Amado Rústico, made with the addition of seasonal fruits, nuts and spices including apricots, wild criollo apples, hard, stubby bananas with clove, cinnamon, raisins, almonds, and walnuts. 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. Don Amado Mezcal Tepeztate 92PF / 375ML / 750ML On the nose, there is candied lime, soft white flowers, with more vegetal notes of bell pepper and cucumber skin along with hints of nuts, soft pastry, and a very lightly charred wood, supported by a back note of minerality. The flavors continue in the same vein, tasting of grilled lemon & lime, sunbaked white flowers, bell peppers, persimmon, squash blossoms, charred oak, and minerals. These flavors are intricately balanced and deliciously perplexing, hinting at matcha tea and persist in a delicate fade that savors grilled fruit nuances. Don Amado Mezcal Rustico 94PF / 375ML / 750ML Mineral clay influence is quite prevalent with aromatics of ash, crushed walnuts, roasted corn, and spices. Citrusy Espadin agave palate is well balanced against notes of caramel, butterscotch and herbs. Don Amado Mezcal Reposado 90PF / 375ML / 750ML Familiar Mexican aromas and tastes: roasted buttered corn, hints of cinnamon, tropical fruit, and dried chilies with a moderate amount of smoke. Barrel-aging contributes spicier, more vanilla-driven notes. Don Amado Mezcal Añejo 87PF / 375ML / 750ML A regal take on what many consider a rustic product. Savory, mesquite aromas hint at a backyard BBQ and cayenne pepper. These flavors flow between layers of baked stone fruit from the brandy barrels. Notes of grilled pineapple and finish with bright saline minerality.
after crushing, fermented together with their pina fibers for a rich agave character. The mash is then double distilled in small traditional ceramic clay pots. Aged varieties are matured in American oak casks previously used for barreling Domecq brandy. Don Amado Ensamble Tobala-Bicuishe 92PF / 375ML / 750ML This ensamble is like the bass section of the orchestra. It opens with a rumbling timpani then bursts of mineral highlights. In the background there are always these brooding flavors from the woody Bicuishe which are subsumed in the sweet minerality of the Tobala. Don Amado Ensamble Tripon 92PF / 375ML / 750ML It’s like Dorothy’s shoes in the Wizard of Oz,
sparkling goodness that fills your mouth and resolves into a true ensemble of flavor. It’s hard to pull the agaves apart because this is one unfettered whole, a real union of thought and action. And it leaves your mouth feeling like the antitheses of those toothpaste ads – sparkling, fresh, full of flavor! Don Amado Mezcal Arroqueno 92PF / 375ML / 750ML Rustic, refined, revealing floral aromatics with caramelized agave, leather and soft smoke notes lending structure to cooked yam flavors. Mouthfeel delivers quince, persimmon, lemon verbena and kaffir, with layers of
chocolate, espresso and spice. Don Amado Mezcal Largo 92PF / 375ML / 750ML
Soft smoke with candied notes and a creamy mouthfeel layer fruit and a subtle spice on a palette of rich, cooked agave… reminiscent of the high desert just after a heavy rainfall, bright and clean.
