Don Amado Tripon, Barril, & Bicuishe is produced by the renowned Arellanes family, who have been crafting mezcals since the late 1700s.
About this mezcal
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 Mezcal
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.

74 reviewsLOTE 100, 46%, 375ml
Nose – Very pungent and sweet. Sharp cheddar cheese, pool water (chlorine), grass, hobby glue, coconut, and some nutty funkiness like almonds. This harkens alike to a boozy piña colada.
Palate – Musty, tastes old; very rustic. Sugar cane, licorice, lots of funk, raisins, wood chippings, McDonalds bbq sauce, citrus chewing gum.
Finish – Super funky. Fish oil, dark bitter grapes, and some dry tanginess like orange rinds.
Very interesting flavor. Might come off as a bit abrasive. Fun to try, but a very acquired taste. It’s interesting to notice the funkiness of a clay pot distillation in this whole Don Amado series, and this one is no exception!

Picked up a 375 ml bottle at Louie’s Liquor in Azusa, CA. Creamsicle and white peach on the nose, lots of sweetness. Strong heat upfront, flavors come on the backend, red hots, a bit of creaminess, and stewed apples. Lots of karwinskii flavors, some of those fall fruits shining through and hints of baked yams or sweet potatoes. There may be something to Jonny’s tobacco and hay notes as well.

708 reviewsLot 63. Bottle 123. A bit yeasty on the nose. Aromas of raw bread dough, uncooked grits, and uncooked potatoes. Some of the raw-ness on the nose moves into flavor notes of hay, dried coffee beans, and tobacco. It’s very dry tasting, and there’s a sticky viscous-like texture that is nice and full.
