Don Amado Rustico Mezcal

A mezcal distilled in a very old-school method: small clay stills. This ancient method is usually not considered beyond small home distilleries because of how fragile the clay pots are (they often need to be replaced as they break) and how expensive this method is to produce spirits. Another thing to note is the clay stills are made from the soil of their estate. This is bottled at 94 proof, much higher than their traditional Plata expression which is 80 proof.

Don Amado Rustico Mezcal Tasting Notes

Nose: The influence of the clay still is quite prevalent on the nose with aromatics leaning towards ash, crushed walnuts, roasted corn, and savory spices.

Palate: The subtle flavor of the terra cotta pervades the palate which is well balanced against the caramel, butterscotch, and fresh herbs found.

Finish: Crips and clean.

Distillery Information

Hacienda Teresa enjoys generous amounts of sunlight and large flatlands, making it ideal for the cultivation of fresh, juicy sugarcane. In 1865, the Serrallés family began distilling the excess sugar cane harvested from Hacienda Teresa into rum.
