Ramo de Rosas Tobala Capon Mezcal 70cl

Ramo de Rosas was founded in 1950 in Oaxaca Mexico, the heartland of Tequila production, their mezcals feature over 30 distinct tasting notes, a result of a meticulous production process. At every stage, they take their time to ensure exceptional quality. Starting with a Capon harvest, where they "lose" a year, allowing the agaves to mature fully. The agaves are then cooked at a low temperature, using 100% natural fermentation and slow-heat distillation.

Since 1950, they have honoured the Virgin of the Rosary, the patron saint of Santiago Matatlán, by throwing a bouquet of roses into the fire that cooks the agaves at the start of each new production. This tradition inspired the name of this mezcal.

This mezcal is crafted from wild Tobalá agave, which is left to mature for 11 years, followed by an additional year using the 'capón' technique, where the stem is cut off to concentrate sugars and minerals in the piña. The agave is then cooked slowly at low temperatures for five to six days, fermented in wooden barrels for eight days, and distilled twice in copper pot stills. This careful process minimizes smoky flavours and brings out vibrant notes of juicy orchard fruits. The mezcal offers rounded flavours of apples, pears, and hints of peach, alongside mineral and herbaceous cooked agave, floral vanilla, and a subtle touch of smoke.
