Don Amado Rustico

Experience centuries of mezcal-making tradition with Don Amado Rústico, the flagship expression from Real de Minas Distillery that honors the ancient craft of Oaxacan distillers. Each bottle captures the soul of fully-mature Espadín maguey hearts, slowly roasted over glowing firewood embers until they release their concentrated essence. The magic continues through natural fermentation with wild airborne yeasts and a patient double-distillation process in handcrafted ceramic pot stills—techniques passed down through generations of master distillers.

The first sip reveals the distinctive character of minero clay-pot distillation, greeting your palate with intriguing notes of ash and crushed walnuts that speak to its artisanal origins. Roasted corn and savory spices create depth and complexity, while the bright citrus character of premium Espadín maguey shines through. Rich undertones of caramel and butterscotch provide warmth and sweetness, perfectly balanced by fresh herbal notes that linger on the finish. This isn't just mezcal—it's liquid history, crafted for those who appreciate authentic flavors and time-honored methods.
