Don Amado Mezcal Largo

The trunk-like hearts of this elongated 'karwinskii' maguey take 10-14 years to mature, and look like spiky desert trees growing wildly over the mountains of Southern Mexico. When harvested, the trunks are cooked together with typical round piñas of other species. Soft smoke with candied notes and a creamy mouthfeel layer fruit and a subtle spice on a palette of rich, cooked maguey reminiscent of the high desert just after a heavy rainfall, bright and clean.
