About this bottle

Mezcal Don Amado Tripón, Barril & Bicuishe is a mezcal from Don Amado, imported by Terranova Spirits. Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in a 750ml bottle.

From the producer

There are alluring aromas of pastry being prepared: wild honey, green apple peel, tart cider, fragrant pear, and white grapes. The palate offers pure, bright sweetness, green herbs, and overripe nectarine, with a medium-length, smooth finish.

Method / Background NotesDon Amado is one of the standard bearers of mezcal in Santa Catarina Minas which is justly renown for its traditional distillation technique en barro – clay pots. This style of ensemble features just local karwinskiis, there isn’t an espadín to anchor it all, which makes it something to seek out.

The flavors speak for themselves but the process is all the more interesting because it’s distilled up to 53% ABV then brought down to 46% with distilled water. Some people look askance at this technique but it’s widely used and it excludes tails which may or may not have something to do with the CRM’s regulations on methanol. Whatever the reason, it’s a demonstration of the quality and identity that can be achieved by someone like Germaín Arellanes Arellanes who knows what he’s doing.
