Mal Bien Tequilero - Victor + Emanuel Ramos

49% ABV

Tequilero (Agave Tequiliana) from the town of Mengoli de Morelos in Miahuatlan, Oaxaca. This is the Blue Weber Agave used to make Tequila but grown in Oaxaca. The agaves are pit roasted and crushed with a stone tahona prior to fermentation with well water in cypress tanks. It's double distilled in copper alembics and adjusted with heads and tails, no water added. 

Victor Ramos and his son Emanuel are prolific producers and 2 of our favorite Mezcaleros. They make Mezcal for Mezcaloteca/Mezcalosfera, Gusto Historico, Mal Bien, and others. This batch of Tequilero is stunning. Incredibly fragrant with powerful aromatics of cooked agave fruit, faint smoke, and tropical fruits. On the palate it's aggressively flavored and nothing like most Tequila you've ever had! Oily and rich with Tequiliana fruit flavors, minerality and a soft afterburn.
