Don Amado Rústico is a clay-distilled mezcal made from Espadín (Agave angustifolia), known for its bold, old-world character and mineral-rich smokiness. Produced in Oaxaca, Mexico, it is crafted using traditional methods: the agave is roasted in an earthen pit with mesquite and oak wood, crushed by tahona, fermented in open-air wooden vats with wild yeast, and double-distilled in clay pot stills using natural spring water. On the nose, it presents aromas of smoked agave, leather, dried herbs, and wet stone, along with cocoa, peppercorn, and citrus zest. The palate is earthy and robust, featuring roasted agave, chocolate, and a touch of brine, leading to a long, smoky finish with subtle woody notes.
