Don Amado Arroqueño Mezcal Review | My First Arroqueño Experience

Today on Tasting Tequila with Brad, I’m diving into my very first Arroqueño mezcal — the Don Amado Arroqueño. After interviewing Jake Lustig from PM Spirits and hearing him talk about why Arroqueño is one of his favorite agaves, I knew I had to finally explore this category deeper for myself.

This traditional mezcal is made by maestro mezcalero Germaín Arellanes Arellanes in San Pablo Apostol, Oaxaca using 100% Arroqueño maguey grown at 4,800 feet elevation. The production process is incredible: earthen pit roasted agaves, pine wood vat fermentation with airborne yeast, and double distillation in ceramic pot stills.

In this review, I break down:

If you enjoy additive-free tequila, traditional agave spirits, mezcal reviews, whiskey, or craft spirits, this is a bottle worth checking out.
