Bringing the two Agave varietals Espadin & Barril together creates a perfectly balanced profile that on first impression, one perceives a smokey nuance. The cooked agave gives forth aromas of vanilla, chocolate, and caramel, light herbal tones such as rosemary, eucalyptus, mint, and wisps of floral notes including lavender and orange blossom. As the liquid develops, the imprint on the palate is sweet and silky, the fruity aromas decant to citrus, leaving delicate smoky tones in the mouth.

Don Amado Tripon, Barril, Bicuishe is made in the small town of Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca. This town is well-known for their clay pot distillation that has been practiced in the community for generations. 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. 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. Learn More

Mezcal made from Agave marmorata is truly one of life’s greatest pleasures. Expect an electric, velvety texture with notes of Sichuan peppercorn, blue flowers, green bell peppers and soft garden soil lasting with a long finish on this expression. Learn More
