Back in 2019, the Ramos family had a banner year when enough repextate reached maturity for Victor to make two batches. We released the March, 2019 batch a year later, and asked the family to put the April batch in 20 liter glass garrafones, where it rested for nearly 3 years before being bottled in Jan., 2022.

Victor and his son Emanuel are the 3rd and 4th generations of the Ramos family to produce mezcal in the Miahuatlan District of Oaxaca. They are related to the neighboring Cortes family via Victor's wife (Emanuel's Mother), Cleotilde, whose sister Cesilia is married to Felipe. 

Victor and his son Emanuel are the 3rd and 4th generations of the Ramos family to produce mezcal in the Miahuatlán District of Oaxaca, an area famous for its strong tradition of agave spirits abundance and diversity of A. karwinskii sub-species (bicuixe, madrecuixe, tobaxiche, etc.). They are related to the neighboring Cortes family via Victor’s wife (Emanuel’s mother), Cleotilde, whose sister Cesilia is married to Felipe.

Though father and son work side-by-side, batch codes ending in VFR signify the cuts and final composition were done by Victor, and batch codes ending in ER signify the cuts and composition were done by Emanuel.
