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.
Here’s a reworded version:
This remarkable mezcal is made from wild Cuixe agave, which takes 16 years to fully mature, enhancing the floral and mineral qualities at the heart of the spirit. After harvesting, the agave is cooked at a low temperature for five to six days, followed by a nine-day fermentation in wooden barrels and double copper pot distillation. The resulting mezcal features vegetal notes of cooked agave, complemented by delicate floral aromas, hints of blueberry, a warming touch of pepper, and a subtle note of cacao.
