THE MAESTRO

Emanuel Ramos

Emanuel was born to both a father and a mother who are maestros mezcaleros. He began working at his father Don Victor Ramos’s palenque at the age of 8, sweeping bagasse off the floor. There, his parents apprenticed him in the full process, from selecting and harvesting mature magueyes to trimming, fermenting, and distilling. He started producing batches alongside his father and mother, and made his first solo batch at age 14 while still in high school. Guided by their advice to never stop doing what they had taught him, Emanuel carries mezcal as both his craft and his passion.

Born to Maestro Parents

Mengoli de Morelos, Oaxaca

First Solo Batch at 14

THE BATCH

This is a very exclusive batch of Puntas de Tequilero (agave tequilana weber), which can take between 5 to 7 years to reach full maturity. The agave is cooked in a conical earthen oven, then crushed using a traditional tahona stone drawn by 2 bulls. Its fibers ferment in wooden vats for eight days with wild yeast and well water, and it is distilled twice in a small copper still using only the puntas to achieve a higher ABV.
