Rustic and refined, Don Amado Arroqueño is made from an enormous maguey species that requires 18 years to mature but is cultivatable, so ecologically sustainable while simultaneously wildly exotic and delicious.
This spirit offers a well-balanced taste profile, with a mix of earthy and sweet flavors that complement each other perfectly. In addition, traditional production methods add complexity and authenticity to the spirit, making it a must-try for anyone looking for a unique and high-quality tasting experience.
Nose: The spirit has a clean and earthy aroma with notes of fresh orchard fruits, creme brulee, and bright citrus. The nose is inviting and refreshing, balancing fruity and earthy scents.
Palate: On the palate, the flavors are well-balanced between earthy root vegetables and sweet tropical fruit. The marzipan and dried cherry notes add complexity and depth, while the roasted pear pastry richness provides a pleasant sweetness. The finish is long and creamy, leaving a satisfying aftertaste.
Method: This spirit is made using traditional production methods, with agaves cooked in an in-ground stone-lined pit, crushed by a mix of hand and machine, and open-air fermented in 1000 liter wooden vats with natural ambient yeasts for 8-20 days. The spirit is then double distilled in 100-liter clay stills, resulting in a high-quality and authentic tasting experience.
